Using traditional computing, even common desktop encryption could take decades for specialized ‘crackers’ to break and government and infrastructure-grade encryption would take \u003ci\u003ebillions\u003c\/i\u003e of times longer. In light of these facts, it may seem that today’s computer cryptography is a rock-solid way to safeguard everything from online passwords to the backbone of the entire internet. Unfortunately, many current cryptographic methods will soon be obsolete. In 2016, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) predicted that quantum computers will soon be able to break the most popular forms of public key cryptography. The encryption technologies we rely on every day—HTTPS, TLS, WiFi protection, VPNs, cryptocurrencies, PKI, digital certificates, smartcards, and most two-factor authentication—will be virtually useless. . . unless you prepare. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCryptography Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e is a crucial resource for every IT and InfoSec professional for preparing for the coming quantum-computing revolution.

He has been the computer security columnist for \u003ci\u003eInfoWorld\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCSOOnline\u003c\/i\u003e magazines since 2005. As evangelist for KnowBe4, the world's largest security awareness training vendor, Roger speaks at major security industry events worldwide.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBe protected the day quantum computing breaks encryption\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoon, if it hasn't happened already, someone with a quantum computer will break the encryption that secures passwords, user accounts, data, financial transactions, and every other aspect of digital life. Many of the current cryptographic methods, including HTTPS, TLS, WiFi protection, VPNs, and cryptocurrencies, will be rendered obsolete in an instant. In 2016, the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) said that all organizations should start preparing NOW for the coming quantum cryptographic break. Security professionals must heed that advice to prepare their organizations for the quantum computing security threat \u003ci\u003etoday\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCryptography Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e is an indispensable resource for every IT and InfoSec professional responsible for making appropriate decisions to meet the challenges of the coming quantum-computing revolution. Post-quantum crypto algorithms currently exist, but implementation will take time and more computing power. This invaluable guide provides real-world advice on where to best use current crypto technologies, explores how and when quantum computing will break existing crypto, and examines which applications are most likely to be broken in the near future. Written for anyone in the InfoSec world who needs to know if their security is ready for the day crypto breaks—and how to fix it—this must-have guide will help you: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eImplement new post-quantum crypto to keep users, data, and infrastructure safe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscover how quantum computing will break current cryptography\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKnow when the quantum crypto break will likely occur\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBecome familiar with basic concepts of quantum mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProtect against security threats with existing solutions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStay up to date with the latest cryptographic methods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApply practical advice for preparing for a post-quantum world\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand digital encryption, authentication, and integrity hashing basics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplore new inventions and improvements beyond crypto quantum computing will produce\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn about many of the incredible things that quantum computing will bring us in the near future\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989010137317,"sku":"NP9781119618195","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119618195.jpg?v=1761782419","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/cryptography-apocalypse-isbn-9781119618195","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
