Penetration testing
A penetration test, commonly called a pentest, is an authorised, simulated cyberattack on a computer system designed to assess its security. This testing method assures the system’s defences by attempting to bypass its security controls, using the same tools and techniques that a potential attacker would employ. Purpose and Scope This document is an all-inclusive…
My take on the Impact of Quantum Computing on Cryptography
The advent of quantum computing represents a paradigm shift not only in computational power but also in the field of cryptography. The unique capabilities of quantum computing, which leverages the principles of quantum mechanics, promise to solve problems intractable for classical computers. What does that mean for us all – particularly those in cryptography? Cryptography…
