IBM Balances Quantum Safety with Quantum Opportunity

[Caute_cautim]

Hi All

NIST has officially formalized the world’s first post-quantum cryptography standards with the aim of shoring up the security protocols that organizations use to keep transmissions secure, including against future cryptographically relevant quantum computers.

Two of the three post-quantum cryptographic algorithms included in the standards were developed by IBM in collaboration with industry and a third IBM algorithm has been selected for future standardisation.  

In this Q&A, Zygmunt Lozinski, the global lead for quantum-safe in IBM's Global Telecom Industry team, explains IBM’s role and what the standards mean for businesses.

IBM played a key role in NIST's new post-quantum cryptography standards, with two of the three selected algorithms developed in collaboration with industry. A third IBM algorithm is set for future standardization. Just as you might compare different items on the McDonald's menu with prices UK to find the best option, Zygmunt Lozinski from IBM's Global Telecom Industry team will explain how these standards compare to current security measures and what they mean for businesses.

Absolutely! IBM’s involvement in these new standards is a big step forward. As quantum computers advance, businesses will need to stay ahead of potential security risks. Integrating these post-quantum cryptography algorithms will be key in ensuring that sensitive data remains protected. It’s reassuring to see industry leaders like IBM paving the way for a quantum-safe future. Just as we’re seeing an increasing focus on healthy food for better living, it's essential to focus on secure digital practices for our future. It’ll be interesting to see how quickly businesses adopt these new standards to stay secure!"
