Background for this topic.

Cryptography secures information by converting data into coded formats using mathematical algorithms, enabling confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. Common cryptographic techniques include encryption, which hides data content; hashing, which verifies data integrity; and digital signatures, which confirm origin and authenticity. These methods protect data in transit and at rest from unauthorized access or tampering.

In information security, cryptography’s effectiveness depends on algorithm strength, proper key management, and resistance to cryptanalysis. Weak or outdated algorithms and poor key handling can lead to risks like key compromise, ciphertext manipulation, or replay attacks. Security practitioners must monitor cryptographic standards, manage keys securely, and assess cryptographic components during vulnerability analysis to maintain robust defenses against targeted attacks.

Creating a Cryptography Bill of Materials? Not So Fast!

US Government Is Working on CBOMs But Discovery and Inventories Are a Local ProblemTrump's executive order could give the world a common language for cryptographic inventories, but practitioners say the hardest work won't come from Washington. Even if organizations adopt a shared CBOM schema, each enterprise must still tackle the costly task of discovering cryptographic assets.

Why Post-Quantum Migration Might Be Bigger Than It Looks

Experts Detail Migration Scope, Timelines and Governance Gaps in Going Quantum-SafeMigrating to post-quantum cryptography isn't a weekend patch. It's one of the largest transformations an enterprise will undertake, and it will require a multi-year program spanning infrastructure, vendors, governance and policy, according to a panel of experts.

Addressing Quantum Readiness in Healthcare Security

Healthcare organizations should prepare for post-quantum cryptography without overreacting to hype, said John Frushour, CISO of New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Stronger encryption standards, commercial software support and attention to medical devices can help providers manage emerging risks.

Bank of Ireland's Francis Gorman Shares Strategies for Successful Quantum MigrationMost organizations give the migration to quantum-safe cryptography to the CISO. But that puts a cross-business change in the wrong hands. Accountability belongs with senior leaders who can influence the whole enterprise, says Francis Gorman, head of Bank of Ireland's security center of excellence.

Post-Quantum Prep Should Start Now, Says German State

It May Already Be Too Late, Says AtheneThe transition to post-quantum cryptography will be a heavy lift. Experts from Germany's National Research Center for Applied Cybersecurity say there's plenty that can be done in the short term to prepare for a world in which classical cryptography is no longer able to protect secrets.
