    The New PKI Quantum Certificates Explained

    The quantum computing era is fast approaching, threatening to shatter existing encryption and expose valuable data to the "harvest now decrypt later" strategy. This episode reveals how quantum certificates and hybrid cryptography are the essential defense. We break down the urgent need for crypto-agility, analyze the new NIST PQC standards, and provide the clear, practical steps your organization must take to begin migrating its PKI today. Tune in to secure your data's future.

    Why the SHA-1 Disaster Holds the Key to Quantum Survival

    We dive into the catastrophic organizational failures of the SHA-1 to SHA-2 migration, revealing why enterprises missed hidden certificates and suffered dependency shock. This historical scramble offers urgent lessons for the PQC transition. Learn how the "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) threat necessitates immediate action, necessitating C-suite leadership, extensive PKI overhauls, and mandatory crypto-agility to counter quantum computers and meet the non-negotiable 2031 deadlines.

    How One Hacker Killed a Global Digital Trust Company

    This is the story of how a single hacker brought down DigiNotar, a company trusted to secure national governments and millions of users online. In this episode of The Encryption Edge, we break down how weak security, a six-week cover-up, and one rogue certificate caused a global trust crisis, halted government services, and forced browsers like Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla to change the rules of the web forever. Learn how this breach led to Certificate Transparency, stricter browser rules, and faster-expiring certificates; the lessons that make the internet safer today.

  6. The 1.1.1.1 Certificate Scandal: A Wake-Up Call for Microsoft’s Root Program

    2025. 09. 11.

    The 1.1.1.1 Certificate Scandal: A Wake-Up Call for Microsoft’s Root Program

    A security incident involving a mis-issued certificate for Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS service has exposed a serious vulnerability. We break down how an obscure Certificate Authority, trusted by Microsoft but not others, left Windows users exposed to a potential man-in-the-middle attack. Join us as we explore the deeper systemic issues at play, from the failure of automated monitoring to the broader pattern of governance failures in the Web PKI. We also discuss why this incident is a critical reminder of the dangers of passive trust and how new regulations like eIDAS 2.0 could make the problem even worse.

    Decrypting Canada's PQC Roadmap

    The quantum clock is ticking, and Canada has a plan. In this episode of The Encryption Edge, we break down the Government of Canada's new roadmap for transitioning its IT systems to post-quantum cryptography. We explore the three-phase strategy, from preparation and discovery to full-scale transition, and reveal the key milestones and deadlines set for federal departments. We'll also dive into a head-to-head comparison, examining the commonalities and key differences between Canada's approach and the European Union's PQC roadmap. Find out how two major global players are tackling the same quantum threat, and what their strategies mean for the future of digital security.
