This would impact the security of all online communications as well as data confidentiality and integrity. Security experts have warned that practical quantum computers could be less than a decade away.<\/p>\n<p>The National Institute of Standards and Technology <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/application-security\/nist-4-crypto-algorithms-post-quantum-world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced the first four quantum-resistant algorithms<\/a> that will become part of the post-quantum-cryptographic standard in July, but the final standard is not expected until 2024. Even so, CISA is encouraging critical infrastructure operators to begin their preparations in advance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile quantum computing technology capable of breaking public key encryption algorithms in the current standards does not yet exist, government and critical infrastructure entities\u2014including both public and private organizations\u2014must work together to prepare for a new post-quantum cryptographic standard to defend against future threats,\u201d CISA says.<\/p>\n<p>To help organizations with their plans, NIST and the Department of Homeland Security developed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/quantum\">Post-Quantum Cryptography Roadmap<\/a>. The first step should be creating an inventory of vulnerable critical infrastructure systems, CISA said.<\/p>\n<p>Organizations should identify where, and for what purpose, public key cryptography is being used, and mark those systems as quantum-vulnerable. This includes creating an inventory of the most sensitive and critical datasets that must be secured for an extended amount of time, and all systems using cryptographic technologies. Having a list of all the systems would ease the transition when it comes times to make the switch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"articleFooter-newsletterSignup\" readability=\"10.473404255319\">\n<p>Keep up with the latest cybersecurity threats, newly-discovered vulnerabilities, data breach information, and emerging trends.
