Why IT Cryptography Could Make Critical Infrastructure Less Safe
When determining which cryptographic protocols should be used to secure critical infrastructure, security professionals may be tempted to reach into the same toolbox used in IT. But is this the best choice? In this video, Senior Research Engineer Colin Gordon describes why we should carefully consider which cryptographic tools we use in critical infrastructure environments. He also shares advice for evaluating cryptographic tools.
