Abstract
A system includes a processing device, operatively coupled to memory, to obtain one or more ciphers that are supported by a device that is coupled to a network, determine, by the processing device, a value associated with the device, based on whether each of the one or more ciphers that are supported by the device is quantum-safe, and generate a notification based on the value.
Claims19
A method, performed by a processing device, comprising:
- obtaining one or more ciphers that are supported by a device that is coupled to a network;
- determining, by the processing device, a value associated with the device, based on whether each of the one or more ciphers that are supported by the device is quantum-safe, wherein determining the value associated with the device comprises comparing the one or more ciphers that are supported by the device with a list of quantum-safe algorithms to determine if each of the one or more ciphers is listed in the list of quantum-safe algorithms;
- and
- generating a notification based on the value.
A system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:
- obtain one or more ciphers that are supported by a device that is coupled to a network;
- determine, by the processing device, a value associated with the device, based on whether each of the one or more ciphers that are supported by the device is quantum-safe, wherein to determine the value associated with the device comprises to compare the one or more ciphers that are supported by the device with a list of quantum-safe algorithms to determine if each of the one or more ciphers is listed in the list of quantum-safe algorithms;
- and
- generate a notification based on the value.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- obtain one or more ciphers that are supported by a device that is coupled to a network;
- determine, by the processing device, a value associated with the device, based on whether each of the one or more ciphers that are supported by the device is quantum-safe, wherein to determine the value associated with the device comprises to compare the one or more ciphers that are supported by the device with a list of quantum-safe algorithms to determine if each of the one or more ciphers is listed in the list of quantum-safe algorithms;
- and
- generate a notification based on the value.
