Cryptopocalypse

The Internet Society is organizing an open letter against Bill C-22, An Act respecting lawful access. The Canadian government is attempting to rush the Bill through Parliament, however it creates dangers for encryption and the security and privacy of all Canadians. This open letter calls on Canada's government to withdraw Bill C-22, and conduct a full study including consultations and an Internet Impact Assessment to mitigate risks in the Bill. We are looking for organizations, companies, associations, and cybersecurity experts from around the world to sign on and demand that the Canadian government withdraw Bill C-22 and address its threats to encryption. A link to the English version of the joint letter and current signatories can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gjqNNR_f The sign on form is available here: https://lnkd.in/g5cpZHcU

An important update from the Australian Signals Directorate .... The Australian Signals Directorate’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ASD’s ACSC) has released the third publication in its Quantum Technology Primer series for cyber security leaders. This edition explores quantum communications and the potential impacts they may have on the future cyber security landscape.   Although quantum communications may provide unique security properties in the future, the technology has practical limitations today. These include short transmission distances, reliance on specialised hardware, and the absence of mature standards.   Organisations can prepare now by factoring emerging risks into their cyber security planning and posture. Proactive measures grounded in cyber security best practice can help manage these risks, such as planning for the transition to post-quantum cryptography. Quantum communications seek to leverage quantum mechanics to encode and transmit information between quantum systems, regardless of distance. This encompasses a broad set of emerging capabilities that aim to enable new forms of secure and efficient communication. As of today, quantum communications don’t offer a practical cyber security solution. Organisations should prioritise strengthening their security posture and planning for post‑quantum cryptography (PQC). This guidance is part of a series of quantum technology primers. To learn more, refer to our guidance on quantum. About quantum communications Quantum communications use quantum phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, which have no classical equivalent. These properties enable uniquely different approaches to performance and security compared to classical communications. While the method for encoding information differs from classical communications, the underlying transmission medium is often similar. For example, using photons (a quantum of light) as a physical carrier over optical fibre or free space. The impact on cyber security Quantum communications could bring new methods for transmitting sensitive data with unique security properties. However, practical limitations such as transmission distance, hardware requirements and environmental sensitivity can affect the reliability and scalability of quantum communications. Quantum communications don’t replace the need for classical cryptographic security. In some cases they rely on classical cryptography for security, including authentication. As quantum computing advances, it will threaten classical asymmetric cryptographic algorithms and place unsecured sensitive data at risk. These risks, combined with the limitations of quantum communications, highlight the need for organisations to begin transitioning to quantum-resistant algorithms.

An important reminder from the Australian Signals Directorate .... https://lnkd.in/gyugin57

As advancements in **quantum computing** continue to reshape the landscape of technology, the debate surrounding **legal backdoors** in cryptography has intensified. This discussion raises critical questions about security, privacy, and the ethical implications of sacrificing personal freedoms for perceived safety. Here, we explore the rationale behind implementing legal backdoors, equate these measures to a potential **cryptopocalypse** through the **Four Horsemen** analogy, and examine the current and projected state of silicon quantum computing, particularly its scalability and forthcoming commercial viability by **2027**. This comprehensive analysis aims to illuminate the complex interplay between emerging technologies and the frameworks needed to govern them responsibly.

Effective, Friday the 27th of February, 2026. We are now utilising our Cryptopocalypse Business name on Social Media networks, and have updated our business description / about / etc details. Transitions on X will be 'slow', and may stay as they are, due to the character restrictions on profile pages. Our Facebook page, will retain its styling and title / purpose : Cryptopocalypse NOW is the official story of ‘FooCrypt, A Tale of Cynical Cyclical Encryption’

The second publication of the Australian Signals Directorates' quantum technology primer series is hot off the press. Quantum technology primer: Computing Introduction Quantum computing seeks to leverage quantum mechanics to accelerate specific and complex computing tasks. Quantum computers are more efficient with certain computations than classical computers, making them a powerful complement to high-performance computing. Despite advancements in quantum technologies, classical computers are still essential for everyday tasks. Quantum computers will depend on them for functions like controlling operations and reading results. This means quantum computers won’t fully replace classical computers. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer could break classical asymmetric encryption methods by performing calculations that are currently too complex for classical computers. Such capable systems are known as cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQC). This guidance is part of a series of quantum technology primers. To learn more, refer to our guidance on quantum. About quantum computing While a classical computer uses bits (0s and 1s) to process data, a quantum computer uses qubits (quantum bits). Qubits allow quantum computers to perform certain tasks much faster than classical computers, or complex calculations that would otherwise be infeasible. For example, imagine searching for a specific name in a long list. A classical computer follows a step-based process to find the name. A quantum computer could, in special cases, use quantum principles like superposition to make the search faster and more efficient.
