One of the more exciting developments now happening in the high-tech world is the work being done to enable quantum computing. After decades of theoretical discussion and development, the last few years have shown tangible progress in this radically different (and enormously complex) new method of computing. Quantum computers essentially perform calculations by flipping the electrical charge of individual atoms and allowing them to simultaneously exist in more than one state through a process ca...

Quantum computing is no longer just a concept confined to research labs. Thanks to rapid progress in both hardware and algorithms, the risk to today’s cryptographic systems is steadily increasing. In 2025, Google’s 105-qubit Willow chip and Microsoft’s Majorana 1 processor demonstrated that scalable quantum systems are moving closer to practical reality. Industry experts now predict that quantum computers capable of breaking RSA-2048 encryption could arrive as early as 2030 to ...

Building and maintaining connected digital ecosystems that account for today’s evolving cyber threat landscape requires a degree of hardware-based trust, as software-only security approaches are no longer sufficient to protect complex, distributed systems Luckily, today’s developers can reference a foundational example of hardware-based security that has existed for decades: the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). With over four billion TPM units deployed globally across a wide range of u...

Servers are the backbone of modern computing infrastructure. They host sensitive data, AI models, and core workloads – making them prime targets for increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. As server architectures become more modular and disaggregated, integrating various CPUs, NICs, accelerators, SCM modules, and more, and as organizations rely more heavily on these distributed systems, the complexity of securing these systems grows exponentially. Recent attacks – such as those e...

Recent advancements in quantum computing have made post-quantum cryptography (PQC) more necessary than ever before. There is an immediate need for developers across industries to strengthen their computing ecosystem against the heightened risk and uncertain capabilities of quantum-enabled attacks. The challenge? There’s not yet a standard, comprehensive model for ensuring post-quantum security. Traditionally, developers have been able to create standards and best practices in response to ...

The rise of AI systems and advancing quantum computing capabilities are fundamentally reshaping the security landscape for modern organizations. While these technologies bring unprecedented capabilities, they also introduce complex security vulnerabilities that traditional cyber defense approaches struggle to address. Organizations must now position themselves to meet rising security needs, while maintaining the flexibility to address current and future threats. Recent regulatory guidelines unde...

The rapid digitalization of enterprise environments, coupled with a surge in sophisticated cyber threats, evolving security regulations, and the rise of quantum computing technology, has created a perfect storm in the cybersecurity landscape that demands heightened levels of agility and resiliency. To combat this, organizations must remain proactive in their approach to cyber defense and compliance. In the latest Lattice Security Seminar, Lattice security experts sat down with partners from AMI ...

On August 13, 2024, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released the eagerly awaited Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards. These standards introduce three new encryption algorithms designed to secure systems against both classical and future quantum computer attacks, providing a necessary evolution from RSA and ECC asymmetric encryption algorithms. In this blog, we outline the impact of these standards and the essential steps for system designers to transition to PQ...

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) play an important role in a multitude of today’s technology. From aerospace and defense to consumer electronics to critical infrastructure and the automotive industry, the prevalence of FPGAs in our lives is growing. Also growing are the threats to those FPGAs. The resources spent to create the IP (Intellectual Property) that runs (firmware) inside FPGAs are vast, as is the technology protected by these FPGAs. This makes FPGAs a potential target for ...

A new era of innovation is on the horizon amid the rise of quantum computing. This emerging technology harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics by fusing aspects of computer science, physics, and mathematics to rapidly solve problems too complex for classical computing. Google, for example, has already developed a quantum computer that operates 158 million times faster than the world’s most powerful existing supercomputer. The convergence of quantum computing with artificial intelligence (A...
