On the post-quantum side, Cryptolib now includes hardware-accelerated implementations of three families of NIST-standardized PQC algorithms: ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA. The SLH-DSA (SPHINCS+) ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. The security of cryptographic applications critically relies on symmetric keys and private keys that are continually kept secret. The method used to ...

Advances in quantum computing technology threaten the security of current cryptosystems. Asymmetric cryptography algorithms that are used by modern security protocols for key exchange and digital ...

There is no doubt that quantum computers will play a significant role in helping the world solve complex challenges not possible on current classical computers. However, quantum computers also pose a ...

When reviewing the WireGuard VPN last fall, one of the things that came up was WireGuard’s support for an optional, additional PSK (Pre Shared Key) layer of security. Like most modern crypto, ...

No one knows when, but crypto-menacing quantum machines are coming. Here's how researchers use quantum mechanics to crack large integers in asymmetric cryptography. Quantum computing continues to ...

The Signal Foundation, maker of the Signal Protocol that encrypts messages sent by more than a billion people, has rolled out an update designed to prepare for a very real prospect that’s never far ...

After a grueling eight years of testing, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finalized the first three algorithms that will form the backbone of the world's strategy to ...

Every time you send a text, pay for groceries with your phone, or use your health site, you are relying on encryption.

So far in this chapter we have focused on the choice of a single class of algorithms, hashes, as a way to get the most performance out of our security. While hashes are extremely useful for a wide ...
