Listen "Racing Against Quantum: The Urgent Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography with KeyFactor's Crypto Experts"
Episode Synopsis
The quantum threat is real, and the clock is ticking. With government deadlines set for 2030, organizations have just five years to migrate their cryptographic infrastructure before quantum computers can break current RSA and elliptic curve systems. In this episode of "What's in the SOSS," join host Yesenia Yser as she sits down with David Hook (VP Software Engineering) and Tomas Gustavsson (Chief PKI Officer) from Keyfactor to break down post-quantum cryptography, from ELI5 explanations of quantum-safe algorithms to the critical importance of crypto agility and entropy. Learn why the financial sector and supply chain security are leading the charge, discover the hidden costs of migration planning, and find out why your organization needs to start inventory and testing now because once quantum computers arrive, it's too late.Episode Chapters:00:00 Introduction00:22 Podcast Welcome00:01 - 01:22: Introductions and Setting the Stage01:23 - 03:22: Post-Quantum 101 - The Quantum Threat Explained03:23 - 06:38: Government Deadlines and Industry Readiness06:39 - 09:14: Bouncy Castle's Quantum-Safe Journey09:15 - 10:46: The Power of Open Source Collaboration10:47 - 13:32: Industry Sectors Leading the Migration13:33 - 16:33: Planning Challenges and Crypto Agility16:34 - 22:01: The Randomness Problem - Why Entropy Matters22:02 - 26:44: Getting Started - Practical Migration Advice26:45 - 28:05: Supply Chain and SBOMs 28:06 - 30:48: Rapid Fire Round30:49 - 31:40: Final Thoughts and Call to ActionEpisode links:Tomas Gustavsson LinkedIn pageDavid Hook LinkedIn pageKeyfactorBouncycastle.orgEJBCA.orgSignServer.orgGet involved with the OpenSSFSubscribe to the OpenSSF newsletterFollow the OpenSSF on LinkedIn
