Meeting Zero Trust goals while maintaining information dominance
Balancing security and access to data are critical to providing users with trustworthy, reliable data for real-time decisions.
NIST picks 4 ‘quantum-resistant’ encryption algorithms to protect US data
“What’s important, though, is to realize that migrating an entire federal agency or private sector company to new algorithms is a huge task,” Duncan Jones, head of cybersecurity at Quantinuum, told Breaking Defense.
New White House directive warns of cryptological risks from quantum computers
“Research shows that at some point in the not too distant future when quantum information science matures and quantum computers are able to reach a sufficient size and level of sophistication, they’ll be capable of breaking much of the cryptography that currently secures our digital communication,” a senior administration official said.
DARPA’s ‘ROCkN’ laser-based clocks will know what time it really is, to the sub-picosecond
Optical clocks in labs today "fill out a huge room, a big room with a very complex, very sophisticated apparatus that takes multiple PhDs to run," Tatjana Curcic, who manages DARPA's Robust Optical Clock Network project, told Breaking Defense.
Aussie PM targets quantum tech, announces ‘critical technologies’ push
Australia’s ambassador to the US, Arthur Sinodinos, confirmed unequivocally that the “mature” submarines his country will buy will use highly enriched uranium: “The subs would be using HEU, and we’re just working out now the arrangements what that will mean in practice.”
