Hand-releasing SSL/TLS certificates no longer scales because it starts with a request. They did so by allowing servers to communicate directly with Certificate Authorities, but Let’s Encrypt’s registration is open, whereas enterprise CAs & commercial providers require verification of who they are issuing a certificate to. This is where External…
Quantum computers will not only become faster. They’ll get dangerous. After passing that threshold, they could break RSA and ECC encryption protecting your banking transfers, medical details, and “HTTPS” connections. Attackers aren’t waiting. They are currently collecting encrypted data, hoping to eventually be able to decrypt the information as quantum…

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced a significant step toward further development of post-quantum cryptography (PQC), as nine digital signature algorithms (DSAs) continue to proceed through the third round of its PQC Standardisation Process (PQCSP). The move follows 18 months of testing and evaluation and marks NIST’s…
Quantum computers are not something you see in movies anymore. They are real. They are a major problem in how we keep things safe online. This includes our bank accounts, the way we talk to each other, and our identities. Most of the ways we keep things secret today are…
Key Changes June 2026 If your organisation uses DigiCert, GeoTrust, Thawte, RapidSSL, or Encryption Everywhere to issue public TLS certificates and currently opts out of Certificate Transparency (CT) logging, your certificates will be force-logged starting June 1, 2026. Every domain name on those certificates becomes publicly visible. If you do…
Every time you log into your bank, send an email, or connect to a VPN, encryption quietly does the heavy lifting. The internet feels simple. The security underneath it? Anything but simplicity. That’s a problem most newbs miss: No encryption fits all cases. Symmetric encryption is quick but makes key…
