Quantum computers could efficiently solve problems that are currently computationally infeasible for classical computers, thus threatening the security of cryptographic systems. As a result, there is a pressing need to develop quantumresistant cryptographic algorithms to ensure secure communication i...
Why do these algorithms need to be quantum resistant? Cryptographic algorithms are able to keep data secret because they are mathematically intensive to break. It would take a modern computer trillions of years to break just one set of encryption keys using brute force. But in the 1990s, before...
ST’s Jacques Fournier will address the embedded world Exhibitor Forum in Nuremberg on March 12, 2025. Visitors can discuss the latest quantum-resistant algorithms with the company’s security experts and see related demonstrations at the ST booth, 4A-148, during the event. ...
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), also known as Quantum-Resistant Cryptography (QRC), focuses on developing cryptographic algorithms and protocols able to stand up to quantum computing power. Adopt a crypto agile strategy now, if you haven’t already, and begin to prepare for PQC as soon as pos...
As quantum computers become a reality, we needquantum-resistant algorithmsmore than ever.Post-Quantum Cryptographyoffers a solution to threats from quantum computers. Thefuture of cryptographyrelies on thesequantum-resistant algorithms. The main goal ofPost-Quantum Cryptographyis to make cryptographic syste...
Hash-based cryptography is the generic term for constructions of cryptographic primitives based on the security of hash functions. All the currently used cryptographic hashes are considered quantum resistant if sufficiently large keys are used. Doubling the key size is usually ...
Enhancements in Cryptographic Defenses and Quantum-resistant Algorithms Looking forward, Professor Sala notes the necessity of transitioning to quantum-resistant cryptographic systems. "All classical public-key cryptosystems should be replaced with counterparts secure against quantum attacks," he states. ...
OQS consists of two main lines of work: liboqs, an open source C library for quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms, and prototype integrations into protocols and applications, including the widely used OpenSSL library. These tools support research by ourselves and others....
Once sufficiently large quantum computers exist, traditional asymmetric cryptographic methods for key exchange and digital signatures will be broken. Many initiatives have been launched throughout the world to develop and deploy new quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms, known as Post-Quantum ...
The US National Institute of Standards and Technology has released Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) publications for three quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms.
