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.

Entrust nShield HSMs Post-Quantum Cryptography Algorithms Achieve Validation from the NIST Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program

By: via Business Wire

Entrust sets a New Standard for Quantum-Safe Security in Hardware Security Modules

News Summary

  • The Entrust nShield HSM implementation of three NIST standardized post-quantum algorithms have been validated by NIST’s Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP).
  • The latest firmware (v13.8.0), released August 22, 2025, natively supports these post-quantum algorithms: ML-DSA, ML-KEM, and SLH-DSA, ensuring organizations can evaluate and deploy quantum-safe security now, without further delay.
  • Entrust nShield 5 HSM firmware – featuring these new post-quantum algorithms – has been submitted for updated FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation through the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP).

As the cybersecurity landscape rapidly evolves, Entrust today announced a landmark achievement: The Entrust nShield Hardware Security Module’s (HSMs) implementation of three NIST standardized post-quantum algorithms have been validated by NIST’s Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP). This milestone empowers enterprises to secure their sensitive data against the looming threats of quantum computing with confidence, backed by the credibility of NIST-validated, production-ready cryptographic solutions. With native nShield HSM firmware (v13.8.0) support for ML-DSA, ML-KEM, and SLH-DSA, organizations have a path to quantum-safe security.

Organizations must urgently secure cryptographic keys and maintain compliance, as quantum computing advancements threaten established security protocols. Choosing the right hardware security module is critical; Entrust nShield HSMs are purpose-built to not only meet current standards but also scale with your organization’s future needs, providing reassurance for the transition to post-quantum cryptography.

NIST’s Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) enforces rigorous standards, ensuring only the most robust cryptographic implementations are validated. Entrust nShield HSMs have met these stringent requirements for ML-DSA, ML-KEM, and SLH-DSA algorithms. Entrust has submitted the nShield HSM firmware – featuring these three quantum-safe algorithms –for updated FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification through the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), reinforcing Entrust’s commitment to advanced, standards-based security.

“Our achievement in obtaining NIST validation for the post-quantum algorithms in production-ready Entrust HSMs is a key differentiator for our customers. This certification gives organizations the confidence that their nShield HSMs are post-quantum ready and recognized by the world’s leading standards body, NIST,” said Mike Baxter, Chief Technology and Product Officer at Entrust.

Entrust nShield HSMs deliver state-of-the-art, tamper-resistant protection for your organization’s most sensitive keys, allowing organizations to generate and safeguard cryptographic keys with confidence, flexibility, and scalability.
