Technology shifts, policy decisions, and attacker behavior are changing at the same time, and their effects increasingly overlap. Insurers, brokers, and security teams are feeling that pressure across underwriting, claims, and risk management. A new gl…
With rival tech giants building different kinds of “quantum bits,” from superconductors to photonics to trapped ions, DARPA program manager Justin Cohen worries no one approach will work for every purpose — so he wants to find a way to make them work t…
A new research project examines how organizations, regulators, and technical experts coordinate the transition to quantum safe cryptography. The study draws on a structured workshop with public sector, private sector, and academic participants to docum…
Security leaders are starting to see a shift in digital identity risk. Fraud activity is becoming coordinated, automated, and self-improving. Synthetic personas, credential replay, and high speed onboarding attempts now operate through shared infrastru…
Quantum computing is still years away from breaking current encryption, but many security teams are already worried about what happens when that moment arrives. A new report from the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) shows that most businesses say they gra…
In this Help Net Security interview, Colonel Ludovic Monnerat, Commander Space Command, Swiss Armed Forces, discusses how securing space assets is advancing in response to emerging quantum threats. He explains why satellite systems must move beyond tra…
As policymakers confront new cybersecurity challenges from emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing, an urgent threat hides in plain sight—end-of-Life (EoL) technology beyond its supported lifespan. Headlines focus on novel threats and futur…
The 2025 annual US-China Commission report also urges lawmakers bolster funding to the US Space Force to establish “space superiority” against the PLA.
In this Help Net Security video, Dick O’Brien, Principal Intelligence Analyst at Symantec, outlines the major cyber risks expected in 2026. He explains that attackers are often breaching networks by targeting people instead of exploiting software flaws…
Signal has just rolled out its quantum-safe cryptographic implementation.
Ars Technica has a really good article with details:
Ultimately, the architects settled on a creative solution. Rather than bolt KEM onto the existing double ratchet, they allowed it to remain more or less the same as it had been. Then they used the new quantum-safe ratchet to implement a parallel secure messaging system.
Now, when the protocol encrypts a message, it sources encryption keys from both the classic Double Ratchet and the new ratchet. It then mixes the two keys together (using a cryptographic key derivation function) to get a new encryption key that has all of the security of the classical Double Ratchet but now has quantum security, too…
