What Makes a Good Password?
All passwords are not created equally. In the game of cryptographic encryption and password-based security, it's generally considered that longer and more complex is better...with consideration. Patryk Sipowicz, a penetration tester with Novacoast's Attack Team, breaks down best practices for passwords in this Security Knowledge Guide.
Q-Day and Quantum Cryptography
Adam Gray, the CTO of Novacoast is renowned for seeing problems and finding solutions. At Innovate Cybersecurity's conference in Scottsday, he opened not wanting to be the bearer of bad news entering into an informative session on quantum cryptography and the future.
8 Years Until Quantum Computers Break Cryptography
Researchers believe they've targeted the date when a quantum computer will defeat contemporary cryptographic algorithms used to secure modern technology and networking, which could wreak havoc on the Internet so irrevocably enmeshed with society.
Can we adopt a strategy now to prepare for post-quantum?
What You Need to Know About Shrinking Certificate Lifespans
A threat to modern encryption comes from ever increasing power in brute force hardware and the looming prospect of quantum computing. Its time to shift to a shorter certificate and key cycle.
