About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Keysight Introduces New Testing Capabilities to Strengthen Post-Quantum Cryptography

By: via Business Wire
  • Industry-first testing capabilities addresses the demand for improved security in the post-quantum era
  • Enables device and chip vendors to identify and fix hardware vulnerabilities in the design cycle
  • Supports testing of the latest post-quantum cryptography algorithms as selected by NIST

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), has announced an industry-first automated solution designed to test the robustness of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). This latest addition to Keysight Inspector is a notable expansion of the comprehensive platform that helps device and chip vendors identify and fix hardware vulnerabilities.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240430030207/en/

Quantum computing is designed to substantially accelerate complex calculations. This development will inevitably threaten existing encryption technologies. Algorithms like RSA and ECC, proven and robust in the current conventional computing era, could be easily circumvented. As the industry looks to remain resilient both now and in the future, this means developing new PQC encryption algorithms. This will be important for applications where encrypted data is captured on the assumption it can be decrypted later. However, new technologies assumed to be resilient against post-quantum attacks may be vulnerable to existing hardware-based attack methods.

Keysight Inspector, part of the company’s recently acquired device security research and test lab Riscure, addresses this challenge. The Keysight Inspector device security testing platform can now be used to test the implementations of the Dilithium algorithm, one of the PQC algorithms selected by NIST. For adopters of this algorithm in hardware, this allows designers to verify that products are secure against these threats. The test solution will also be necessary for government institutions and security test labs that want to verify the strength of third-party products.

With ongoing standardization, Keysight expects dozens of new security algorithms to become available for multiple applications and industries. Ultimately, these algorithms will need verifiable implementations. Keysight will provide the necessary test tooling in addition to certification services through Keysight Inspector.

In addition, Keysight Inspector can also test the chips and analyze the silicon design before implementation by simulating the hardware code pre-silicon. Riscure has been working with PQShield, the leading developer of PQC solutions, to conduct both pre- and post-silicon analyses of their products.

Dr Axel Poschmann, Vice President of Product at PQShield, said: “Keysight will help us verify the robustness of our implementations at an early stage. Building on our original work with Riscure within the Keysight portfolio is exciting and we are looking forward to continuing this journey.”

Marc Witteman, Director of the Device Security Research Lab at Keysight, said: “Post-quantum resilience does not guarantee total security. We have observed incidents when the latest post-quantum encryption technology suffers from hardware-based threats. With this technology being implemented at a larger scale, the need for comprehensive testing becomes apparent. We are addressing this need by adding post-quantum algorithm testing capability to the Keysight Inspector solution, our comprehensive device security testing platform.”

Keysight will provide live demonstrations of the Keysight Inspector hacking a PQC implementation running on a popular processor at booth 4418 during the upcoming RSA Conference in San Francisco.
