Wednesday, December 31st, 1969

Cryptowatch is a blog that highlights the announcement of technological and mathematical advancements that may impact decisions about the use of cryptographic systems. Cryptowatch is a great way to stay informed about bleeding edge advancements in fields that effect key length and expiration date choices. Following this blog will help you decide which algorithms to use, how long your passwords should be, what key length to choose, when you need to move off a platform like PGP. It will help you keep abreast of the state of emerging disruptive technologies like quantum computation, nanotechnological and biological computing. To a lesser extent, news regarding government and corporate monitoring efforts and policy will be posted.

The purpose of the blog is mainly smart (performed by a knowledgeable in-field human) aggregation. Therefor, commentary will be minimal.

I hope you enjoy cryptowatch.
