ETSI proposes ways to protect VPNs from quantum attacks
- Wednesday | 17th October, 2018
“ETSI has been working on quantum-safe cryptography for more than three years now to offer the market efficient and timely solutions for the future,” says Mark Pecen, chair of the Quantum-Safe Cryptography working group. VPNs are likely to be vulnerable to compromise by quantum computers in the future. This is due to the fact that quantum computers excel at certain classes of mathematical problems that underpin many widely used cryptographic techniques. Because of recent advances, the quantum computer presents a serious challenge to widely used current cryptographic techniques and assumptions. The report looks in turn at the underlying security protocols by which a VPN achieves cryptographic security.
