#NIST Draft Document on #PostQuantumCryptography Guidance

NIST has release a draft of Special Publication1800-38A: Migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography: Preparation for Considering the Implementation and Adoption of Quantum Safe Cryptography.” It’s only four pages long, and it doesn’t have a lot of detail—more “volumes” are coming, with more information—but it’s well worth reading.

“We present high-assurance open-source implementations of Kyber written in the Jasmin language, along with machine-checked proofs that they are functionally correct with respect to the EasyCrypt specification” #PostQuantumCryptography #PQC

It’s 2023 and you’re designing a decentralised system based on public-key cryptography where a person’s identity(ies) are their public key(s).

Do you…

A good article on post-quantum cryptography (featuring Kyber and Dilithium, along with explanations of other promising schemes).

TIL: #WireGuard supports something called ‘pre-shared key’ (which are *not* the same as private keys).

“WireGuard is not, by default, post-quantum secure. However, the pre-shared key parameter can be used to add a layer of post-quantum secrecy. It could be post-quantum secure were the public keys hashed instead of sent directly, but this is not part of the Noise Protocol Framework, on which WireGuard's handshake is based, and this hashing technique wouldn't enable forward-secure post-quantum secrecy either. The best bet for post-quantum security is to run a truly post-quantum handshake on top of WireGuard, and then insert that key into WireGuard's pre-shared key slot.”

Personally I don’t feel a need to use this, but I guess it’s smart to bake it into the protocol from the beginning, in order to make it more future-proof.

Post quantum computing and encryption.

I get a lot of questions on this topic. Which makes a lot of sense as quantum computing has been in the news and everyone knows that there will be impacts on encryption. There are things we should be doing now to prepare for a PQC world, but it might not be what you expect. In my latest blog I talk about what you should start to do now, and provide a pointer to some helpful resources.

"Even if the Schnorr-based technique won’t break the Internet, quantum computers could eventually do so by running Shor’s algorithm. Security researchers have been busy developing a number of alternative cryptographic systems that are seen as less likely to succumb to a quantum attack, called post-quantum or quantum-safe. "

Adopting post-quantum cryptography is something that has been discussed for years; it's time for organizations to get to work.. https://www.darkreading.com/tech-trends/2023-will-see-more-focus-on-quantum-computing #PostQuantumCryptography #OrganizationalSecurity

Claims of an efficient hybrid algorithm to factor 2048-bit #RSA numbers with only <400 qubits, i.e., devices that are feasible to build with current technology, if not already built in secret. This could get interesting if it truly pans out. #QuantumComputing #AlgorithmicComplexity #Cryptography #PostQuantumCryptography

I can highly recommend "Cryptography Apocalypse" by Roger A. Grimes if you're interested in #postquantumcryptography or #cryptography in general.

@mikefordays @arturobg @gamingonlinux Right now there are #NIST candidates being tested / vetted for #PostQuantumCryptography but this is ongoing.

#KeepassXC isn't obviously able to implement it yet.

I hope that the new #pqc #postquantumcryptography by #nist will last as long as this one. 500 years would be immense timeframe nowadays.
