47. What That Means with Camille: Cryptographic Services

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the previous episode of</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">What That Means</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Camille delved into the world of post-quantum cryptography. Today, she explores cryptographic services with Eduardo Cabre, who is a Principal Engineer with the Intel Product Assurance and Security Division; they discuss the future threats organizations will face and possible preventions.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We cover:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  The difference between the two kinds of cryptography - symmetric and asymmetric</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  What exactly is meant by attestation</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  What “keys” are and how they’re generated</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  Why encryption is crucial for protecting things like biometrics</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  How much of a threat quantum computing could pose to public and private keys in the future</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  What kinds of new cryptographic services are in development</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">... and more</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Be sure to tune in, and also check out WTM Episode 46 if you haven’t already for a great companion piece!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The views and opinions expressed are those of the guests and author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Intel Corporation.</span></em></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are some key take-aways:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  Cryptographic services are essential to securing data in computing devices.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-  There are two types of cryptography - symmetric cryptography and asymmetric cryptography; symmetric cryptography deals with the process of encrypting data (typically in very
