After 8 years of research on the methods, the first three quantum-secure PQC algorithms have now been standardized by NIST:
FIPS 203, Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism Standard (ML-KEM) based on Crystals-Kyber
FIPS 204, Module-...
Since the beginning of the year, a growing number of countries have enacted explicit export controls for quantum computers and associated technology in the context of the dual-use issue. The presence of identical wording suggests secret preliminary negotiations. In Germany, according to an official ...
A collaboration of researches from the Imperial College London, the University of Stuttgart, the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg and the University of Southampton succeeded in demonstrating writing to and reading from a quantum memory. The used photons were created in a single-photon source...
The ongoing development of quantum computers endangers currently used cryptographic protocols and makes it necessary to deploy quantum secure encryption. An important step is the integration of quantum secure encryption in widely used messenger apps. As explained in a press release from 21.02.2024, ...
Since 2016 a selection process with multiple steps is ongoing where the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) searches and evaluates suitable Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms for digital signatures and encryption for standardization. This is necessary as the continuous dev...
