The Bad Guys Just Broke My Crypto - What Do I Do?
Explore the critical topic of cryptography security in this 49-minute conference talk by Kris Chaplin from Intel UK. Delve into the challenges of maintaining secure communications and protecting data through encryption and authentication. Examine the concept of modern cryptography and one-way functions, with a focus on prime number factoring and its implications for RSA encryption. Assess the progress and potential threat of quantum computing to current cryptographic methods. Discuss strategies for dealing with products affected by evolving security standards and methods to accelerate algorithms in response to changing requirements. Learn about programmable logic as a scalable solution for acceleration. Analyze recent developments, including William Barr's stance and GCHQ's proposal for a "Ghost protocol" in encrypted messaging.
