Allows customers to start testing and experimenting with PQC
algorithms and capabilities
SAN
FRANCISCO, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
SafeLogic today announced the launch of an Early Access Program
(EAP) for its next-generation cryptographic software modules that
include comprehensive support for all the PQC algorithms NIST is
planning to standardize in the summer of 2024. Available now, these
modules will allow SafeLogic customers to test and experiment with
PQC algorithms and capabilities such as cryptographic asset
discovery, cryptoagility, and hybrid use cases. SafeLogic will be
demonstrating these modules in booth #6572 at the RSA Conference
2024 in San Francisco this
week.
"Regulated industries such as the US Public
Sector already have PQC migration requirements in place via various
executive orders and congressional actions. These and other
customers, such as financial services and healthcare organizations,
want to start preparing for PQC migration now."
Quantum computers are promising to offer many benefits to
society, but the advent of that technology also carries some risks.
One major risk is the threat that quantum computers are expected to
pose to the world's public key (asymmetric) encryption. It is
believed that once sufficiently powerful quantum computers are
available, they will be able to break most of the widely available
public key encryption in use today. Should this risk materialize,
the significant negative impact on security, privacy, and trust is
hard to overstate.
Correspondingly, NIST has been running a worldwide competition
for over five years now to select and standardize PQC algorithms
that are resistant to cryptanalytic attacks from future quantum
computers. SafeLogic had been working closely with NIST and other
industry collaborators on NIST's NCCOE PQC migration project where
it had been leading the PQC migration prioritization
workstream.
"For over a decade, SafeLogic has been a trusted and proven
cryptographic software solutions partner for companies that require
strong, FIPS 140 validated cryptographic software. Our customers
include top technology vendors, many of which sell to regulated
industries such as the US Public Sector that already have PQC
migration requirements in place via various executive orders and
congressional actions," said Evgeny
Gervis, CEO of SafeLogic. "These and other customers, such
as financial services and healthcare organizations, want to start
preparing for PQC migration now, and SafeLogic is excited to be
their partner on that journey."
SafeLogic's PQC solutions offer several capabilities that
organizations migrating to PQC will find important.
- PQC algorithms CRYSTALS-KYBER, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON,
SPHINCS+, LMS, and XMSS are now available for customer testing.
SafeLogic expects to incorporate these into its FIPS 140 validated
CryptoComply software once NIST completes the standardization
process and doing so becomes possible.
- SafeLogic takes a unique approach to cryptographic asset
discovery by providing real-time operational information for when
quantum-vulnerable cryptography is being used. This information can
greatly help organizations with their cryptographic inventories and
migration prioritization decisions.
- SafeLogic's approach to cryptoagility builds on CryptoComply's
provider architecture to reduce the effort required for future
cryptography migrations.
- SafeLogic's approach to hybrid mode allows organizations to
safely wrap classical FIPS 140-2 or FIPS 140-3 validated encryption
in PQC to protect valuable data from "harvest now, decrypt later"
attacks while maintaining FIPS compliance and providing defense in
depth.
SafeLogic's PQC solutions offer several distinct advantages,
including field-proven validated cryptographic implementations,
extensive environment coverage with maximum compatibility,
commercial-grade support, support for CNSA 2.0, and increasing
implementation in memory-safe languages. As the world prepares for
PQC migration, the largest migration in the history of
cryptography, the dimensions above will be key to meeting their
needs in a comprehensive fashion. To learn more about SafeLogic's

About SafeLogic
Founded in 2012, SafeLogic is a premier provider of
cryptographic solutions that enable enduring privacy and trust in
the ever-changing digital world. SafeLogic's CryptoComply FIPS 140
validated cryptographic software modules support a broad range of
platforms, programming languages, and operating environments. With
its FIPS Validation-as-a-Service offering, SafeLogic expedites the
delivery of FIPS 140 certificates for its CryptoComply customers.
It then keeps those certificates active over time via a unique
white-glove managed service that provides both software support and
certification maintenance. CryptoComply is also the basis for
SafeLogic's post-quantum cryptography (PQC) capabilities, which
include PQC algorithms, discovery, cryptoagility, and hybrid
deployments. For more information, go to www.safelogic.com.
