DigiCert has released ‘PQC for Dummies, DigiCert Special Edition’, a book that serves as a primer on the challenges posed by quantum computing and equips organisations with the knowledge and strategies needed to adopt post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to secure digital infrastructure.
The book addresses the critical need to prepare for a post-quantum world, where quantum computing poses the potential to render current cryptographic algorithms obsolete. Readers will learn about the importance of layering quantum-safe encryption alongside existing security controls, adopting contingency plans, and building organisational adapatability.
“Quantum computing is no longer a distant possibility; it’s a rapidly approaching reality,” said Amit Sinha, CEO of DigiCert. “Organisations must start preparing today by adopting post-quantum cryptographic solutions to protect their sensitive data and digital ecosystems. PQC for Dummies, DigiCert Special Edition provides an accessible and actionable guide for this critical journey.”
The increasing pace of quantum computing innovation has made the transition to quantum-safe cryptographic methods a pressing priority.
PQC for Dummies, DigiCert Special Edition explores the following topics:
- The impending risks posed by quantum computing to current cryptographic systems
- The steps to begin layering quantum-safe encryption alongside existing security measures
- Strategies for contingency planning and building adaptability within an organization
- The importance of prioritising PQC as part of a forward-looking cybersecurity strategy
- Real-world examples illustrating how organizations are preparing for quantum computing
“By preparing now, organisations can ensure a smooth and effective transition to quantum-safe systems, safeguarding their digital assets against future threats,” added Sinha. “This book serves as an essential resource for understanding and implementing PQC strategies that can protect data well into the future.”
