One such document is the new EU Cybersecurity Strategy, which mentions quantum computing and encryption as key technologies for achieving resilience, technological sovereignty and leadership. Quantum technology will enable a huge leap forward in many branches of industry, as it can efficiently resolve problems technologies of today are not able to provide a solution for.
FHE has long been described as transformative for data privacy and cloud security as it enables computing on encrypted data sets, thereby keeping the underlying data secure. With Secret Computing technology, data scientists can finally build advanced analytics and Artificial Intelligence models on distributed data sources without ever exposing or transferring sensitive data across departments, organizations, or jurisdictions.
"In 2015, Juniper revealed a security breach in which hackers modified the software the company delivered to its customers," a Wyden statement read. "Researchers subsequently discovered that Juniper had been using an NSA-designed encryption algorithm, which experts had long argued contained a backdoor, and that the hackers modified the key to this backdoor." "The American people have a right to know why NSA did not act after the Juniper hack to protect the government from the serious threat posed by supply chain hacks. A similar supply chain hack was used in the recent SolarWinds breach, in which several government agencies were compromised with malware snuck into the company's software updates," the members wrote.
A "Severe" vulnerability in GNU Privacy Guard's Libgcrypt encryption software could have allowed an attacker to write arbitrary data to the target machine, potentially leading to remote code execution. The flaw, which affects version 1.9.0 of libgcrypt, was discovered on January 28 by Tavis Ormandy of Project Zero, a security research unit within Google dedicated to finding zero-day bugs in hardware and software systems.
European encrypted services providers ProtonMail, Threema, Tresorit and Tutanota on Thursday urged European Union policy makers to rethink plans that would require the implementation of encryption backdoors. The Council of the European Union in December adopted a resolution on "Security through encryption and security despite encryption." The council said it supports the development and use of strong encryption to protect citizens and organizations, but at the same time it believes law enforcement and judicial authorities need to be able to exercise their legal powers.
To select a suitable data encryption solution for your business, you need to think about a variety of factors. Selecting a data encryption solution for your business should follow the same principles used for assessing any technology before deploying it within your organization: usability, scalability, cross-platform, adaptability and compliance.
