Digital certificate industry veterans Tim Callan and Jason Soroko explore the issues surrounding digital identity, PKI, and cryptographic connections in today's dynamic and evolving computing world. Best practices in digital certificates are continually under pressure from technology trends, new laws and regulations, cryptographic advances, and the evolution of our computing architectures to be more virtual, agile, ubiquitous, and cloud-based. Jason and Tim (and the occasional guest subject matter expert) will help you stay current on developments in this essential technology platform and to understand the whys and wherefores of popular Public Key Infrastructures.
Jason uses a quantum simulator to show us how a cryptographically relevant quantum comptuer (CRQC) would employ Shor's algorithm to attack RSA. Part two of two, with guest Bruno Coulliard.

In this second of two episodes, Jason walks guest Bruno Coulliard and me through his real-world experience building quantum simulators, including some of the lessons he learned.

Repeat guest Bruno Coulliard of Crypto4A joins us to discuss the accelerating pace of change in digital technology, which is going at a rate unprecedented in human history. How do we as people adjust to the hyperspeed of today's technology landscape? And how do we apply these ideas to cryptography?
Researchers have used AI to decode two German Enigma messages that have remained unbroken since the second world war. We describe how this was accomplished.
This year we have seen a series of AI-enabled cryptographic attacks. In this episode we discuss a new exploit to abuse signing mechanisms in HSMs.
The PLANTS working group in IETF recently released its draft 6 of the Merkle Tree Certificates standard. We go over what is new in this draft.
Apple has announced it will support Merkle Tree Certificates for PQC and has released a draft root store policy. We share some of the surprising requirements in this draft.
Publicly trusted client authentication certificates have a hard deadline to be deprecated in Q1 2027. Not everyone is ready for that. We discuss some of the reasons why and what to do about it.
