The goal of post-quantum cryptography (PQC), also called quantum-resistant cryptography (QRC), is to develop cryptographic systems that are secure against both quantum and classical computers and can interoperate with existing communications protocols and networks.

In this second paper, we cover challenges for deploying QR encryption, including pre-shared key (PSK) management, RFC 8784 - an extension of Internet Key Exchange (IKE) v2 that allows it to be resistant to a quantum computer by using PSKs, and how to implement data-at-rest (DAR) and data-in-transit (DIT) QR encryption solutions today using commercial FPGA devices and off-the-shelf hardware.

Using a Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) system enables aircraft pilots to visualize the landing area in poor conditions, allowing them a safe, on-time descent to their target destination.

Dominic Perez, Chief Technology Officer, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions, and Aaron Frank, Senior Product Manager, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions, talk about critical considerations for selecting CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs for rugged field applications and vehicle platforms with size, weight and power constraints.
