• "The future ability of quantum computers might be a decade or two away, their future ability to break public-key cryptography has important implications for the encryption of highly sensitive information today. For these applications, we must already design new public-key cryptosystems and one-way functions that are immune to quantum cryptanalysis."

  • "First and foremost, there is no proper excuse for continued use of a broken cryptographic primitive (MD5) when sufficiently strong alternatives are readily available, for example SHA-2. Secondly, there is no substitute for security awareness." ... "Advice from experts should be taken seriously and early in the process. In this case, MD5 should have been phased out soon after 2004."

  • “The time needed to factor an RSA integer is the same order as the time needed to use that same integer as modulus for a single RSA encryption.   In other words, it takes no more time to break RSA on a quantum computer (up to a multiplicative constant) than to use it legitimately on a classical computer.”

Summit: IEEE Key Management Summit 2010
About: The IEEE Key Management Summit brought together a tight knit group of the best minds in cryptographic key management to discuss the current state of the art, solutions to known problems, and to look forward into the future.

17 presentations were made at the event by a wide variety of speakers, including US National Institute of Standards and Technology, US National Security Agency, Cisco, Wells Fargo, Synaptic Labs and many others.
 
Organisation: IEEE Computer Society
About IEEE CS: With nearly 85,000 members, the IEEE Computer Society is the world’s leading organization of computing professionals. Founded in 1946, and the largest of IEEE’s 38 societies, the Computer Society is dedicated to advancing the theory and application of computing and information technology. This event was supported by the IEEE Mass Storage Systems Technical Committee.
 
Synaptic Labs' Participation:

Synaptic Labs' CTO spoke twice at the IEEE KMS.

  1. A survey and low-level comparison of network based symmetric key distribution architectures.
  2. Rapidly improving Cybersecurity with a new global IdM/CKM design that does not rely on PKC – SLL's response to NIST's call

Synaptic Labs was also responsible for video recording and post production of all presentations made over the 2 day event. You can find the videos and slide shows online free here.
