NIST has posted an update on their post-quantum cryptography program: After spending more than three years examining new approaches to encryption and data protection that could defeat an assault from a quantum computer, the National Institute of Standa… Continue reading Update on NIST’s Post-Quantum Cryptography Program
NIST has posted an update on their post-quantum cryptography program: After spending more than three years examining new approaches to encryption and data protection that could defeat an assault from a quantum computer, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has winnowed the 69 submissions it initially received down to a final group of 15. NIST has now begun… Continue reading Update on NIST’s Post-Quantum Cryptography Program
The UK’s GCHQ delivers a brutally blunt assessment of quantum key distribution: QKD protocols address only the problem of agreeing keys for encrypting data. Ubiquitous on-demand modern services (such as verifying identities and data integrity, establishing network sessions, providing access control, and automatic software updates) rely more on authentication and integrity mechanisms — such as digital signatures — than on… Continue reading GCHQ on Quantum Key Distribution
This paper wins "best abstract" award: "Quantum Tokens for Digital Signatures," by Shalev Ben David and Or Sattath: Abstract: The fisherman caught a quantum fish. "Fisherman, please let me go," begged the fish, "and I will grant you three wishes." The fisherman agreed. The fish gave the fisherman a quantum computer, three quantum signing tokens and his classical public key…. Continue reading Quantum Tokens for Digital Signatures
