Pace of Market Growth
Emerging Technologies
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)
The development of cryptographic algorithms that are resistant to attacks by quantum computers will be essential for future digital security.
Memory-Safe Programming Languages Adoption
Increased industry-wide adoption of memory-safe languages like Rust for critical infrastructure will drastically reduce a prevalent class of cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
Homomorphic Encryption (HE)
This technology allows computation on encrypted data without decrypting it, enabling privacy-preserving analytics and cloud operations.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
NIST's Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process (Ongoing)
NIST has been conducting a multi-year process since 2016 to solicit, evaluate, and standardize quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms.
This policy will necessitate updates to cryptographic protocols and certificate issuance, directly impacting Let's Encrypt's future operations and the wider PKI ecosystem.
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) 'Secure by Design' Initiative (2023)
CISA's 'Secure by Design' initiative encourages software manufacturers to build products with security as a core tenet, shifting the burden of security from customers to developers.
This initiative strongly aligns with ISRG's Prossimo project, increasing the industry demand and regulatory push for memory-safe code and inherently secure software.
California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) (Effective 2023)
Building on CCPA, CPRA expands consumer data privacy rights in California, including strengthened enforcement and new rights concerning sensitive personal information.
The CPRA's emphasis on data minimization and privacy by design further validates and increases the relevance of ISRG's Divvi Up project for organizations operating in or serving California.
