This Tuesday, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published three key technical standards that, according to astrophysicist and Sequre Quantum founder, will reshape the cybersecurity landscape across various markets.
The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advances in quantum computing—although still in their early stages—are becoming a significant threat to data and communications security
Paulina Assmann, founder and CEO of Sequre Quantum, a Chilean-Polish company that has developed a device using quantum physics and light photons to generate random numbers for creating cryptographic keys, explained that these keys can self-authenticate online, are unpredictable, invulnerable to failures, and can even detect cyberattack attempts in real time.
Assmann, who also holds a PhD in Astrophysics from the University of Concepción, noted that while a conventional computer would take 16 million years to break current systems like RSA—one of the most widely used—a future quantum computer could do it in "a couple of minutes."
While the risk is real, she pointed out that government agencies are adopting new standards based on "post-quantum cryptography," which will be implemented in the next decade.
