The cybersecurity industry has to address the following crucial needs:
1. Better performance of data in transit:
     – Bandwidth optimization: A well-known transmission bottleneck, essential for highperformance
        data transmission.
     – Encryption optimization: While essential for securing sensitive information, data
        encryption adds overhead to data transmission. Optimized encryption algorithms and
        hardware acceleration can minimize the impact on performance while ensuring secure
        data transit.
     – Latency reduction: Minimizing the delay or latency during data transmission is critical
        for performance.
      – Parallelization and parallel processing: Breaking down large data transfers into
         smaller chunks and transmitting them concurrently can improve overall performance.

2. Better security on data in transit:
Avoiding pre-shared keys (PSKs)
     – Scalability: PSKs can become difficult to manage and scale in large and complex
       environments.
     – Key distribution: PSKs need to be securely distributed to all communicating parties
       before they can establish a secure connection.
     – Key revocation: If a PSK is compromised or a party needs to be denied access,
        revoking, or changing a PSK can become extremely inconvenient.
     – Lack of individual accountability: With PSKs, it can be challenging to attribute actions
       or changes in the network to specific individuals or devices. Since all entities share the
       same key, it becomes difficult to establish individual accountability in case of security
       incidents or breaches.

3. Strengthening the keys of symmetric encryption – this is important to enhance the security
and resilience of encrypted data:
     – Resistance against brute-force attacks.
     – Protection against advances in computing power.
     – Protection against known cryptographic attacks.
     – Long-term security: In some cases, the encrypted data needs to remain secure for an
       extended period.
