FUTURE TECHNOLOGY
IBM continues to integrate post-quantum cryptography into many of its own products such as IBM z16 and IBM Cloud .
In 2023 , the company unveiled the IBM Quantum Safe roadmap , a three-step blueprint to chart the milestones towards increasingly advanced quantum-safe technology , and defined by phases of discovery , observation and transformation .
The company also introduced IBM Quantum Safe technology and IBM Quantum Safe Transformation Services to support clients in their journeys to becoming quantum safe . These technologies include the introduction of Cryptography Bill of Materials ( CBOM ), a new standard to capture and exchange information about cryptographic assets in software and systems .
Welcoming the NIST announcement , cybersecurity specialist Karl Holmqvist ,
Founder and CEO , Lastwall , said : “ We have been warned by the heads of the NSA , the FBI and even the White House that there are active nation-state attacks stealing currently encrypted data and that we need to switch PQC algorithms . This announcement by NIST is fantastic and a positive progression for defense against a significant thread .
“ Time is not on our side to change to quantum-resistant ciphers . We need to address this now – it ’ s time to get to work and eliminate outdated cryptography .” •
