A Christmas Note from the Silicon Trust

As Silicon Trust concludes at the end of 2025, we appreciate the community’s support. Explore our archive and join us at The Quantum Space for ongoing insights on digital identity and technology.

From Hardware Trust to the Quantum Era

The Silicon Trust Partner Program and VAULT magazine have documented the evolution of hardware-based security over 25 years. With security now expanding beyond cards and chips into IoT, edge AI, and software protection, The Quantum Space addresses emerging technologies shaping trust and cybersecurity. It underscores the need for insights into future security landscapes.

Advancements in Post-Quantum Cryptography (2023-2025): What You Need to Know

The transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has gained momentum due to advancements in algorithm standardization and global collaboration. Notable developments include NIST’s finalization of three quantum-resistant algorithms and emphasis on crypto-agility. Despite challenges in implementation, organizations are adopting proactive measures to secure digital infrastructure against potential quantum threats.

Farewell to the VAULT Magazine: 25 Years of Innovation

The final issue of VAULT magazine celebrates its 25-year history and marks the closure of the Silicon Trust Partner Program, which has become less relevant due to industry changes and technological advancements. The editorial reflects on past achievements, acknowledges key contributors, and emphasizes the evolution of secure technology and marketing in a rapidly changing landscape.
