Quantum-Resistant Security for IoT and M2M Devices
Key Points Quantum Threat to Existing Encryption: Quantum computers will be able to break today’s widely used encryption methods (like RSA and ECC) in minutes, making current IoT and M2M device security obsolete. IoT/M2M Vulnerabilities: These devices have long lifespans, limited ability to receive updates, and often perform critical functions—making them high-value targets for future…
Read MoreQuantum Computing is Decades Faster than the Best Supercomputers
Quantum computers represent a profound leap in computational capabilities, fundamentally different from traditional supercomputers. While supercomputers rely on traditional binary logic, quantum computers exploit the principles of quantum mechanics, enabling them to compute certain problems exponentially faster. Performance of Supercomputers vs Quantum Computers In 2023 Google scientists reported in a study that it completed a…

Protecting OT from Quantum Computing What is Quantum Computing? Quantum computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to perform complex calculations far more efficiently than classical computers. Unlike classical bits, which represent data as 0 or 1, quantum bits (qubits) can exist in multiple states simultaneously due to superposition. This, along with entanglement—where qubits become…
Read MoreRipple20 Vulnerabilities
For anyone who follows security and the IoT, the recently identified “Ripple20” vulnerabilities revealed by the Israeli firm JSOF will not be a surprise. However, as the number of connected devices continues to grow exponentially, what these recent flaws dramatically showcase is the extent to which we are becoming reliant on IoT devices in both…

Read MoreWho is Responsible for Securing the IoT?
We all love progress, especially when it comes to our gadgets. Everything from thermostats to grilling equipment is now potentially connected, opening a broad range of functions and opportunities for convenience and pleasure. A big reason for the increased functionality we enjoy today is the broad ecosystem that has evolved to connect everything to everyone…
Read MoreUse of IoT Devices as a ‘Fly on the Wall’ During Trump and Putin Meeting–Why We Should Care and What We Should Do
There is something about a closed-door meeting that seems to spark everyone’s curiosity. We cannot help but wonder who might be the subject of conversation or what is so secretive. So, when two heads of state meet privately sans their usual entourage, as the leaders of the United States and Russia did recently in Helsinki,…
Read MoreFuture-proof TCU-ECU security for automotive systems
By: Khaldoun Albarazi, Market Development Engineer, STMicroelectronics and Drake Smith, Vice President of Engineering, SecureRF Developing and providing connected systems in automobiles is a high growth, exciting market–with a problem. Security is increasingly important yet many of the devices in these systems are vulnerable. One of the issues is that current security methods, such as ECC and RSA, are…
