Top story:

Concerns about quantum computing power (not realised) still invented) spurred one of the greatest cryptographic breakthroughs of our time, the post-quantum cryptography algorithm.Last year, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology Conclusion An almost decade-long race to develop new algorithms to protect against quantum attacks.The algorithm is expected to see broader deployment by federal agencies this year, experts say. Quote It could be a decade before post-quantum cryptography is in active use.

What we are waiting for:

• End-to-end encryption Facebook Messenger and Instagram are actually slated for this year.
• Fidothe encryption standard claimed by Big Tech Exchange Passwords are planned for a broader release.A Promising Transformation in Platform and Application Security Uses public key cryptography Authenticate web users as opposed to a secret “12345” passcode.
• Europe is set to have ugly regulations Showdown Beyond encryption. EU lawmakers want to scan everyone’s messages to find out who the “terrorists” and pedophiles are.ordinary person please do not I want it who will give way?

Unconventional wisdom:

You should Donate to the signal. Meredith Whittaker, the new CEO of his popular E2E encrypted chat app, Said The platform is looking for long-term financial strategies to keep the historically free messenger running. Whitaker revealed that she was interested.optional donation, is not a subscription service. Paying for something that’s technically free may sound bad, but let’s do a cost-benefit analysis here: Would you choose? We don’t really know what the future holds for Signal, but the bottom line is that supporting any platform, paid or not, is a good idea.

People to follow:

• Matthew Green – One of the best sources for crypto news.Cryptographer and professor at Johns Hopkins University Greens blog is an excellent source of information for anyone looking to stay up to date with technology.
• Meredith Whitaker – Signal’s new CEO is shaking things up with his privacy platform.she Tweetshe blogand she sometimes does interviewIt’s best to pay attention to what she says.
• Peter Shore – As quantum cryptography becomes more and more important, one person you’ll want to know is Shor. A brilliant MIT professor, his Shor’s algorithm is considered one of the underlying mathematical pieces of the quantum puzzle.

Companies to watch:

• Sandbox AQ – A spin-off from Google, this startup aims to provide security services in the “post-quantum” era.
• ball tree – This company offers homomorphic encryption via a software-as-a-service model. This is said to be an increasingly popular form of encryption. enhanced protection Significantly.
• signal – The most consistent individual privacy advocate on the web since our founding in 2014. Even after Moxie Marlinspike stepped down last year and Whittaker took over, it remains the platform everyone who cares about privacy should care about.

Longshot bet:

Elon Musk is doing well his promise Encrypt your Twitter messages. Am I certain of this prognosis? No, not at all.but among them trash can fire On Twitter after Dorsey, Musk has consistently done what he set out to do. Unfortunately, much of it turns out to be silly… but encrypted messaging is the exception to this rule. It is E2EE iCloud BackupMeta’s Envisioned Messenger Encryption Plan, and Google’s Implementation Decision E2EE for GmailIf Musk maintains his role as CEO long enough, he will make this happen.
