GoTech Affiliate Paper: Entrokey
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently a popular field of
study in academia. Industry is also taking notice of technological
advances with AI and applying these to a range of use
cases. One of the important use case now being addressed by
AI is cybersecurity, specifically encryption. Encryption is universally
used to protect the secret information of governments,
companies of all sectors, and individuals. It is so essential that
governments are now investing tens of billions of dollars to
read the messages of rival countries using quantum computers
[1] and are expending massive amounts of money to record
as many messages of their targets in an attack called “harvest
now, decrypt later” (HNDL) [2]. While quantum computers
are projected to become available in the future [3], AI can
enable advanced decryption techniques today.
