Overcoming Digital Certificate Management Challenges in the Quantum Era

Murali Palanisamy of AppViewX explores the challenges digital certificate management will face during the inevitable “Quantum Era.”

Most commonly known for displaying the lock icon next to “https” on a webpage’s URL, digital certificates (SSL/TLS) make users feel that the website they are interacting with is trusted. But these certificates — which encrypt connections between users, applications, and other digital assets — also protect machines and workloads. With quantum computing on the horizon, organizations will eventually need to replace thousands of certificates throughout their hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Digital certificates have been targeted for a security overhaul recently, forcing organizations to update them more frequently and upgrade their encryption algorithms. Browser vendors, including Apple and Google, and certification authorities (CAs) who comprise the CA/Browser Forum have reduced the lifespan of certificates and begun considering what the future will look like once quantum computers make today’s certificates and encryption algorithms obsolete. These changes are now making crypto-agility — the ability to switch certificates and encryption standards with minimal disruption — a must for any organization looking to future-proof security before quantum computing forces their hand.
