Description
The NSA and NIST have alerted the Nation to the near term issues of quantum computing obsoleting the commonly deployed public key security used to protect most of the information/data today. The resolve for this is to put into place a pilot of a solution, designed to offset the quantum threat, as quickly as possible. Quantum makes the hard math problem, that provided our perceived security, easy. The replacement for this weakness is available and documented by the American National Standards Institute, (ANSI) and has also been documented, sponsored by the United States via ANSI, to the International Standards Organization (ISO). The report to the White House states:
Quantum computing will revolutionize information and communications technologies (ICT) in ways that push beyond our current conceptions, and the notion of a quantum computer capable of defeating widespread encryption systems is no longer that of speculation—only the precise timing and ownership are still in question. (executive summary page 1)
Product is available start a pilot as soon as possible, noting expanding the pilot over time.
Exercise product and technology called out in the ANSI and ISO publications. Constructive Key Management.
