Why Post-Quantum Cryptography Starts With Credentials
Today’s encrypted data, such as credentials, may no longer remain confidential in the future because the public-key cryptography protecting it will soon be broken by quantum computers. Although no machine today can break elliptic curve cryptography or RSA, quantum hardware is advancing rapidly and will inevitably change how organizations protect their data. Ciphertext and credentials…

OT-Sicherheit: Vom Perimeterschutz zu identitätsbasiertem Datenverkehr
Noch vor 20 Jahren war es einfach, eine Produktionsanlage zu schützen. Das Gelände umgaben üblicherweise Zäune und gesicherte Tore. Physisch isolierte Netzwerke und statische Hardware an festen Standorten machten Cyberangriffe von außen ebenso unmöglich wie das Fehlen von Remote-Zugriff und Cloudumgebungen. Wer Zugriff auf das Netzwerk hatte, wurde als vertrauenswürdig eingestuft. Dieses Konzept kam im……
