SIT and IBM establish a centre for quantum-safe security
The Singapore initiative will develop skills and practical migration methods for encryption designed to withstand future quantum computers.
The story
The Singapore Institute of Technology and IBM have announced a centre focused on quantum-safe security, combining education, research and industry-facing work.
Organizations cannot replace cryptography overnight. They first need to discover where vulnerable algorithms and long-lived sensitive data exist, then plan upgrades that remain compatible with complex systems.
The centre’s impact will depend on practical migration tools, trained specialists and projects that help critical sectors move from awareness to tested implementation.
