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.

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.

The ethical development of AI components and systems is essential. Read how NXP, a Partner of the Charter of Trust, has built its comprehensive framework for AI ethics principles that are rooted in its corporate values, ethical guidelines, and a long tradition of building some of the world's most sophisticated secure devices.

The annual IBM X-Force® Threat Intelligence Index sheds light on the biggest cyber risks that organizations face today, with data and insights collected over the past year.
