Cybersecurity has become one of the hottest topics in the modern digital world. How to make cybersecurity solutions trustworthy is a highly relevant question. Cybersecurity solutions make use of cryptographic mechanisms, so trusting in these solutions means trusting in cryptography. Cryptography helps the world build trust. Without cryptography, trusting any information that is processed, distributed and stored is impossible. From this point of view, cryptography plays the role of a “root of trust”.
However, cryptography itself relies on trust. Cryptographic mechanisms need to be trusted, but there are many barriers. In recent years, a substantial amount of research on quantum computers has been reported and this has drawn enormous attention from the cryptographic community, governments and the cybersecurity industry.
