Post-quantum cryptography represents the next steps for our digital cryptography evolution. Quantum systems capable of breaking current encryption may still be a few years out, but those beginning their transition now will be well-positioned for when the crypto hits the fan.
F5 Sr. Solution Architect Chase Abbott discusses why the post-quantum challenge is now, highlights CNSA 2.0 compliance requirements, and a bump for migrating to post-quantum cryptographic compliance.
00:00 overview
00:32 a casual overview of quantum computing
03:37 quantum-enabled algorithms
05:19 Mosca's Inequality in practice
07:47 harvest now - decrypt later
09:53 NIST, NSA, and Chuck
13:20 post-quantum cryptographic coalition migration roadmap
14:55 conclusion
