Timothy Hollebeek has more than 15 years of computer security experience, including eight years working on innovative security research funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. He remains heavily involved as DigiCert’s primary representative in multiple industry standards bodies, including the CA/Browser Forum, striving for improved information security practices that work with real-world implementations. A mathematician by trade, Tim spends a lot of time considering security approaches to quantum computing.
As the sheer number of connected devices continues to rise and technology continues to develop toward a future full of quantum computers, securing devices/applications and becoming “crypto agile” is fundamental to an organization’s effort to...
In previous articles in this series, we have discussed the threat quantum computing poses to classical cryptography and the difficulty of predicting when a cryptographically relevant quantum computer will arrive. In this article, we will discuss how...
Once people understand the threat that quantum computers pose to classical cryptographic algorithms like RSA and ECC, the next question that always gets asked is: when is it likely that such a computer will be available? This was one of the key...
According to a new Frost & Sullivan white paper, the number of consumers using digital payment methods continues to increase worldwide—and so do concerns about online fraud. With 6.17 million data records stolen every day by cybercriminals,...
This is the first of a series of technical blogs that DigiCert is publishing on quantum computing and the coming post-quantum transition. Upcoming articles will provide additional, easy to understand information about what is happening and steps...
After over a year of effort, Ballot SC3 was just unanimously passed by the CA/Browser Forum. This is the first major upgrade to the Network and Certificate System Security Requirements to come out of the Forum’s Network Security Working Group. It...
As of August 1, 2018, Certificate Authorities (CAs) are not allowed to use Methods #1 and #5 from section 3.2.2.4 of the Baseline Requirements to validate domain ownership when issuing publicly trusted certificates for use on the web. Continued use...
The London Protocol was originally proposed as a potential joint effort by CA Security Council members to combat phishing. All large commercial CAs revoke certificates for phishing websites when they are brought to their attention, but they do not...
