Understanding the Dual Nature of Hybrid Cryptography in Post-Quantum Security

When people talk about “hybrid” in post-quantum cryptography, they often mean different things and that confusion can stall momentum. In this episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense, DigiCert’s Kevin Hilscher explains why disambiguating hybrid is critical: ✅ Hybrid key exchange (pairing PQC with RSA/ECC for TLS handshakes) ✅ Hybrid certificates (dual-signed X.509s, still stuck in competing standards) ✅ Why clarity on definitions matters for planning and progress Understand the difference now so your migration plans don’t get stuck waiting on unfinished standards. 🎧 Get the full breakdown on hybrid cryptography and what it means for your roadmap: YouTube: https://youtu.be/5ebdueI5jlg Spotify: https://bit.ly/47RLm7r Apple: https://apple.co/45RNb1I #PostQuantum #CyberSecurity #PQC #TLS13 #HybridCryptography #ShieldedPodcast
