  • Keeper Security has announced the integration of the Kyber key encapsulation mechanism across its platform to protect against future quantum computing threats. Kyber, a lattice-based cryptography standard finalized by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is designed to withstand the unique computational capabilities of quantum machines that could render current RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) obsolete. This update aims to mitigate “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, where adversaries capture encrypted data today to decrypt it once scalable quantum technol
