The rate at which quantum computing is hitting the media stream is ever-increasing. This piece is a collection of articles and reports covering various aspects of quantum computing from the lens of cybersecurity and cryptography. Mea Cubitt
Cybersecurity Perspective In Quantum Computing | Along with the immense promise of quantum computing come the enhanced security threats too. This has opened up a whole new field known as post quantum security. Source: electronicsforu.com.  Cybersecurity Perspective In Quantum Computing…
Can You Protect IoT Devices From RNG Cyber Attacks? Quantum Tech Says Yes | Cybersecurity researchers recently reported that every IoT device with a random number generator or RNG (35 billion worldwide) contains a vulnerability that fails to properly generate random numbers, inhibiting the device’s ability to securely communicate, hide information from third parties, and authenticate and operate securely. To learn more on how quantum cybersecurity can protect IoT devices from these types of failures, Design News interviewed Duncan Jones, RNG expert and head of quantum security for Cambridge Quantum (which is combining with Honeywell Quantum Solutions to form the world’s largest quantum computing firm). Here is a portion of that discussion. Source: DesignNews.  Can You Protect IoT Devices From RNG Cyber Attacks? Quantum Tech Says Yes…
Doge Protocol, a Community-Driven Blockchain Project, Released Its Quantum Resistance Whitepaper | The impact of quantum computers on blockchains is more critical as they can be rendered invalid without possible recovery. This is because the authenticity of transactions can no longer be trusted. Doge Protocol addresses this problem by a hybrid proof-of-stake system, that will eliminate the need for proof-of-work mining, which faces the quantum threat due to Grover’s algorithm. Source: Doge Protocol (PR.com).  Doge Protocol, a Community-Driven Blockchain Project, Released Its Quantum Resistance Whitepaper…
Using quantum Parrondo’s random walks for encryption | Assistant Professor Kang Hao Cheong and his research team from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have set out to apply concepts from quantum Parrondo’s paradox in search of a working protocol for semiclassical encryption. In a recent Physical Review Research letter, the team published the paper “Chaotic switching for quantum coin Parrondo’s games with application to encryption’ and discovered that chaotic switching for quantum coin Parrondo’s games has similar underlying ideas and working dynamics to encryption. Source: Singapore University of Technology and Design.  Using quantum Parrondo’s random walks for encryption…
