The Urgent Need for Post-Quantum Cryptography: Securing Our Digital Future 🔒

Post-quantum cryptography represents the next steps for our digital cryptography evolution. Quantum systems capable of breaking current encryption may still be a few years out, but those beginning their transition now will be well-positioned for when the crypto hits the fan. F5 Sr. Solution Architect Chase Abbott discusses why the post-quantum challenge is now, highlights CNSA 2.0 compliance requirements, and a bump for migrating to post-quantum cryptographic compliance. 00:00 overview 00:32 a casual overview of quantum computing 03:37 quantum-enabled algorithms 05:19 Mosca's Inequality in practice 07:47 harvest now - decrypt later 09:53 NIST, NSA, and Chuck 13:20 post-quantum cryptographic coalition migration roadmap 14:55 conclusion F5 DevCentral OpenSSL PQC Step-By-Step Lab: https://github.com/f5devcentral/openssl-pqc-stepbystep-lab Further Reading: US National Quantum Initiative https://www.quantum.gov/ NSA CNSA 2.0 https://media.defense.gov/2025/May/30/2003728741/-1/-1/0/CSA_CNSA_2.0_ALGORITHMS.PDF PQCC Inventory Workbook: https://pqcc.org/pqc-inventory-workbook/ PQCC Migration Roadmap: https://pqcc.org/post-quantum-cryptography-migration-roadmap/ PQCC International Requirements: https://pqcc.org/international-pqc-requirements/ Quantum Computing for the Very Curious: https://quantum.country/qcvc Essence of linear algebra: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDPD3MizzM2xVFitgF8hE_ab&feature=shared Notes: - Contributed by: Chase Abbott ⬇️⬇️ JOIN THE COMMUNITY! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ DevCentral is an online community of technical peers dedicated to learning, exchanging ideas, and solving problems—together.
