Detecting “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” Attacks Using AI/ML Models

I’m researching strategies to detect the “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” attack, also known as “store now, decrypt later” or “retrospective decryption.”
This surveillance approach involves acquiring and storing currently unreadable encrypted … Continue reading Detecting “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” Attacks Using AI/ML Models

Preparing for Q-Day as NIST nears approval of PQC standards

Q-Day—the day when a cryptographically relevant quantum computer can break most forms of modern encryption—is fast approaching, leaving the complex systems our societies rely on vulnerable to a new wave of cyberattacks. While estimates just a few years… Continue reading Preparing for Q-Day as NIST nears approval of PQC standards

Preparing for a post-quantum future

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is a hot topic. A recent paper from Tsinghua University raised doubts about lattice-based cryptography for PQC, though an error was found. This has sparked questions about the strength of soon-to-be-standardized PQC algo… Continue reading Preparing for a post-quantum future

Lattice-Based Cryptosystems and Quantum Cryptanalysis

Quantum computers are probably coming, though we don’t know when—and when they arrive, they will, most likely, be able to break our standard public-key cryptography algorithms. In anticipation of this possibility, cryptographers have been working on quantum-resistant public-key algorithms. The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has been hosting a competition since 2017, and there already are several proposed standards. Most of these are based on lattice problems.

The mathematics of lattice cryptography revolve around combining sets of vectors—that’s the lattice—in a multi-dimensional space. These lattices are filled with multi-dimensional periodicities. The …

Super-pure silicon chips unlock next-generation computers

Silicon is so important for electronics and computing that it’s become synonymous with technology – even getting a valley named after it – but the stuff still has its flaws. Now, scientists have created a way to make super-pure silicon chips that could… Continue reading Super-pure silicon chips unlock next-generation computers
