Guide businesses on AI & Quantum Computing challenges.

Objectives

The mission of this group is to address and provide guidance to businesses on how to manage the complexities triggered by AI and Post Quantum Computing and their impact on cybersecurity and trust.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is transforming the cybersecurity landscape for businesses, offering both unprecedented opportunities and complex challenges. On the positive side, AI enhances cybersecurity by automating threat detection, improving response times, and predicting potential security breaches through advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms. These capabilities enable businesses to proactively defend against cyber threats, minimize vulnerabilities, and enhance overall security posture.

However, the integration of AI also introduces new cybersecurity risks. AI systems can themselves become targets for cyberattacks, potentially being manipulated or exploited by malicious actors. Additionally, the complexity and opacity of some AI algorithms can make it difficult to identify and mitigate biases and vulnerabilities, leading to security gaps.

In light of the regulatory advancements on AI, the Charter of Trust Partners aim to provide clear guidelines for ensuring innovative but also secure and compliant with regulatory requirements.

Post Quantum Safety

Post-quantum safety represents a pivotal shift in the cybersecurity landscape, addressing the imminent threats posed by quantum computing to current cryptographic systems.

The impact of post-quantum safety on cybersecurity for businesses is profound. Implementing post-quantum cryptographic algorithms will become essential to safeguard data against future quantum attacks.

This involves transitioning to quantum-resistant encryption methods, which can be a complex and resource-intensive process, requiring significant updates to existing systems and protocols.

As such, the Charter of Trust Partners aim to provide the necessary guidance to critical businesses on how to adopt post-quantum safety measures and rethink their cybersecurity strategies to ensure long term resilience and security of their data.

An Important Step Towards Security in a Post-Quantum World

By Julian Meyrick, IBM Managing Partner and Vice President, Security Strategy Risk & Compliance, Security Transformation Services and Lars Reger, NXP Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer

After six years of careful analysis, NIST has announced the first cryptographic algorithms that will allow us to maintain the highest levels of security in a post-quantum world – what we also refer to as ‘quantum-safe cryptography’. And while first quantum-safe products are already here – there is still much to be done. The selected algorithms won’t immediately lend themselves to existing resource-constrained platforms. Within organizations like the Charter of Trust, we can find the necessary experts working together to resolve these issues and support the industry with the pending cryptography transition, which should begin now – even though quantum computers of today are not yet able to break modern encryption.

Embedded Security in a Post-Quantum Computing World

Wolfgang Steinbauer, Head of Crypto & Security, NXP Semiconductors, explains how quantum computing has the potential to play a significant role in advancing our scientific knowledge and society in the coming decades, yet challenges the mechanisms we use today to secure information. This is why Charter of Trust Partners NXP, Infineon, and IBM are working on product solutions for a post-quantum future with long-term security.
