As the field of quantum computing advances, new opportunities and threats are emerging. One key threat federal leaders are focusing on is decryption.

Its all about decryption. Its all about cracking your secrets, saidDr. Ken Urquhart, global vice president of 5G strategy at Zscaler, in a recentvideo interview with Executive Mosaics Summer Myatt.

But right now, Dr. Urquhart said were not quite at the stage of being able to crack quantum encryption.

So lets look at where we are today we dont have enough qubits to do really interesting things with most of the algorithms. To crack RSA encryption, we had one group say about 6,000 qubits. Are we there yet? No we may hit about 1,000 this year and now were going to go for 4,000. Still not at 6,000 qubits, he shared.

Dr. Urquhart said that based on estimates from physicists and quantum experts, we may not achieve full-scale quantum computing capabilities for another 50 years. But despite this, those in the quantum field are still working to find new algorithms that are stronger and less likely to be cracked using quantum or classical computing.

Turns out you can build encryption algorithms for quantum computing that are just as hard to break as encryption algorithms in classical computing, he said. In fact, there was one algorithm for quantum encryption that would be considered unbreakable on a quantum computer that turned out you could break on a classical computer pretty quickly.

Security cameras help give us peace of mind, allowing us to know more about what goes on around our home, ensuring that if something does happen, we have useful evidence and footage at the ready. These can also be extremely convenientespecially when integrating with other smart home devices.

But sometimes, its not just us looking at the security camera footage. The companies that make the cameras often have access to recorded footage, and, in some cases, that means that police have access to it, too.

If that sounds a little unsettling, thats because it isespecially because you may not know if police have access to your security footage.

Heres what you need to know about the situations in which police can get access to your security footage and what you can do to stop it if you want to.

When it comes to security cameras, like video doorbells, make sure to read the fine print on how your videos may or may not be shared.

Whether or not companies need permission to share recordings depends on your setup and the access that the companies themselves have. In short, however, its unlikely that a company needs your permission to share data, if that data is stored on the companys servers.

In other words, if you make use of cloud storage for videos, which is offered by most major security brands like Ring, Eufy, and Arlo, and that data is not end-to-end encrypted, then they do not need your permission to share your data. That doesnt mean theyll share it freely, but it does mean that they could if they wanted.

There are times when someone other than you, such as a security company or law enforcement, may access your private footage.

Police dont necessarily simply have direct access to your datathey have to go through either you or the company that makes your security camera first.

In the case of Ring, which operates the Neighbors community service, police can directly ask users if they can access footage, through the Request for Assistance feature. Usually, this will involve users within a certain distance of an incident receiving that request.

Users can then supply all security camera footage from a certain period, share only certain footage from that period, or ignore the request. If you do end up sharing footage, youll also be sharing your email address and physical address with law enforcement, and that data will be available for law enforcement for up to 30 daysthough they can download it and store it for longer.

Importantly, Ring says that law enforcement never has access to live feeds of footage.

Police dont have to ask for individuals to help though. Instead, they can request data directly from Ring, and Amazon (which owns Ring) has confirmed that it shares camera and doorbell footage with police in emergencies.

That, however, is just Ring. Most security camera companies dont run services like Neighbors, and their rules are likely much more relaxed.

Most of the time, law enforcement can request access to your footage from companies. Some companies may only supply that data if theres a warrant, but others are a little more relaxed with their customers data.

Not necessarilyand in fact, its unlikely that they will. Companies want to ensure that you feel safe with the services so that you keep using the products.

In most circumstances, law enforcement will make a formal request to access your security video footage.

There are a few things you can do to prevent companies from making decisions for you about whether or not to share the footage with the policeand most of those options involve ensuring that companies dont have access to the footage in the first place.

In these situations, police have to come to you directly to access footage if they want it.

For starters, you can choose cameras and doorbells that store footage locally instead of in the cloud.

Security brands Eufy and Wyze offer options with local video storage, meaning that footage isn't stored in a company-owned server. Some options from D-Link and TPLink also have local storage.

Thankfully, you can use cloud storage and still retain complete controlif you use a cloud storage service offering end-to-end encryption. A good example of this is Apples HomeKit Secure Video, which stores footage in your iCloud account.

Only the user can access this footage since it is end-to-end encrypted, and Apple can't access the data even if it wants to. The list of devices that support HomeKit Secure Video is small, but it is growing.

Ring also offers some end-to-end encryption options. Users have to opt in to end-to-end encryption with Ring, but if they do, Ring wont be able to access or share it with law enforcement.

End-to-end encryption is available as an option on all of the products Ring currently sellsbut may not be an option on its older devices.

Unfortunately, however, Ring users that opt in to end-to-end encryption can't preview videos on the Ring Event Timeline or view footage on shared devices, like an Amazon Echo Show.

What to know about police and your security camera footage - Reviewed

In our modern hyperconnected world, we are constantly sending emails, instant messages, SMS messages, chats on social media, and much more to send information professional and personal. As each aspect of our lives continues to become digitized -- and as cybercrime gets ready to reach more than $10 trillion by 2025 -- it's becoming more important than ever to use encrypted messaging and secure communication tools to preserve our privacy.

Guarding your digital realm is thankfully more than viable with encrypted messaging and secure communication, in particular technologies such as end-to-end encryption, decentralized messaging platforms, and advanced privacy-enhancing features. To that end, let's talk about how these pioneering tools are playing a crucial role in protecting individuals, businesses, and journalists from cybercrimes.

We'll also discuss how adopting encrypted messaging and secure communication tools can act as a bulwark against breaches, as well as the importance of prioritizing and rethinking digital privacy and advocating for a wider awareness of secure communication.

Both businesses and individuals need secure communications to securely exchange information with employees, business associates, financial institutions, friends, and much more. Without a means to ensure secure communications, it is impossible to maintain any level of privacy or integrity of data during the exchange of information.

End-to-end encryption is a type of encryption method that uses keys (meaning it's a type of asymmetric encryption) to encrypt and decrypt data. End-to-end encryption protects privacy and ensures data security with the help of private and public keys, as opposed to symmetric encryption methods that only use one key to encrypt and decrypt data.

Various popular digital communications tools such as WhatsApp and Google Fi use end-to-end encryption to make sure that nobody is snooping on your messages or rummaging through any of your data. The main advantage that comes with end-to-end encryption is that an individual's or business's system provider is unable to access any decryption keys with which to access key files or emails.

End-to-end encryption is also likely to be highly useful in tackling the growing problem of business email compromise (BEC). This is because end-to-end encryption can prevent cybercriminals from hijacking conversations between companies and customers, and it can keep bad actors who are using legitimate business email addresses from targeting an employee also working at that business.

As you're likely well aware at this point, concerns have never been greater when it comes to data privacy and ownership. To address these concerns, decentralized social media platforms give users more control over their data by leveraging blockchain technology and decentralized networks. These alternative social networks run on their own servers and don't need to fear being swallowed up by big tech since they don't rely on the public cloud.

A big draw for lots of people using decentralized social media platforms in 2023 is the emphasis on uniqueness in community; certain popular decentralized social platforms like Mastodon use various servers that are all connected, referred to as instances; someone using a platform like Mastodon can pick an instance they feel aligns with their interests, thereby becoming entrenched in a community of likely like-minded individuals.

The future of decentralized social media platforms may very well impact online communication as a whole. Decentralized technology's use of blockchain technology makes for a robust combination of data privacy and security features that other, more mainstream social media competitors with platforms that do not use interconnected servers must take seriously. Additionally, decentralized social media platforms are more conducive to censorship resistance and give users a greater level of control over their experience online.

With each passing day, our world begins to appear more like one giant digital landscape. The solutions that can rise to the challenge of securing our modern digital landscape will likely make use of end-to-end encryption, secure networks, and authentication protocols that ensure only the right people can access the data they need at a certain time. It's incumbent on business owners to stay abreast of trends in secure communication technologies and standards so that they can keep themselves - and their business and its employees - safe from cybercrimes.

Given its recent and explosive popularity across seemingly every aspect of daily life, it should come as no surprise that artificial intelligence is a key player in the area of secure communication. AI is the key to reliably and consistently detecting and preventing data breaches as well as recognizing patterns in datasets that can help businesses glean valuable insights. On the more user-oriented side of things, AI can improve the way secure communication tools work and allow users to enjoy more personalized experiences.

Additional emerging technologies like blockchain and especially end-to-end encryption may soon be incorporated into commonplace software applications such as video and voice calls. End-to-end encryption is particularly important to keep track of when following trends in secure communication because of its ability to strike a fine line between usability and security: users don't need to worry about their data being encrypted and decrypted as they send and receive messages.

These days, there's little to lose from using an encrypted messaging application to help increase your privacy and make it harder for people to snoop on you and your private conversations (and any of the businesses or personal acquaintances that are involved). In fact, most high-quality encrypted messaging apps are encrypted to the point that they make it difficult for law enforcement to access them (which has, admittedly, caused some problems in the past).

If you're looking for an alternative solution to SMS and MMS messaging that prevents your messages from being viewed by your system provider or other third parties, it may be a good idea to consider using an encrypted messaging app. An encrypted messaging app will do a better job of keeping personal or professional information from being intercepted -- it's a good idea to use an encrypted messaging app if you're regularly sending and receiving potentially sensitive personal or business-related info.

In the ever-connected digital world, encrypted messaging and secure communication tools are becoming pivotal in preserving our privacy. The intricacies of end-to-end encryption, decentralized messaging platforms, and innovative technologies like AI are playing a crucial role in protecting individuals, businesses, and journalists. With privacy threats looming larger than ever, it's imperative that these security measures be adopted by individuals and businesses to prevent data breaches from occurring.
