The Linux Foundation is launching the Alliance for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQCA) to address the security challenges of quantum computing together with several major technology companies.
The Linux Foundation announced the launch of the Alliance for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQCA). This initiative brings together chipmakers, cloud providers, researchers and developers in an open and collaborative environment to address the cryptographic security challenges of quantum computing. Major technology companies such as AWS, Cisco, Google, Nvidia and IBM have already joined the project. The alliance’s main task is to develop software for evaluating, prototyping and deploying new post-quantum algorithms. In this way, they want to facilitate the practical introduction of post-quantum cryptography.
Quantum computers can outperform traditional computers and potentially crack codes that protect our digital data. This is inevitably accompanied by an increasing security threat. This technology has already experienced exponential growth in recent years and is also one of the five predicted technology trends of 2024.
The PQCA aims to position itself as a base for organizations and open source projects that need production-ready libraries and packages. This supports their compliance with the US National Security Agency’s Cybersecurity Advisory regarding the commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0.
The PQCA currently has two projects underway. It’s one of those startup projects Open the Quantum Safe project, whose goal is to support the development and prototyping of quantum-resistant cryptography. A second project, it PQ code package projectfocuses on creating and maintaining highly reliable implementations of standards-based post-quantum cryptography algorithms.
