The hottest data security discussion topic last week was the claim that RSA encryption had been effectively hacked. While RSA isn’t dead yet, it is effectively on life support because few doubt that the time is quickly coming when this will be our new reality. So how can you protect your data today against this inevitability?
Post-Quantum Encryption (PQE) promises to provide the newest generation in a process which has been accelerating since Roman times – but still suffers the same weaknesses that have plagued every new encryption technology.
The only thing that has changed in each new encryption generation is the level of mathematics.
When everything else about how we manage data has evolved so dramatically, why are we still relying on a cryptographic cipher and a secret key? Given the recent example from Coinbase—and what can happen when that key is no longer secret—isn’t it time for a new, and stronger, approach?
Multi-dimensional Result Factoring (MRF) is that new approach—one that closes the door on hostile actors trying to steal your data. MRF addresses encryption’s weaknesses, including the risk of exposing the “secret” key and encryption’s performance costs. With MRF, your protected data can no longer be stolen and reconstructed, even by a supercomputer—quantum-powered or not.
MRF is being used to protect highly regulated data today, allowing individualized insights to be generated on data while it is in its protected state; all with complete international privacy compliance. It runs on standard hardware and is, of course, NIST-compliant.
