CVE-2026-81703 openssl_encrypt before 1.4.9 Authentication Bypass via Unencrypted PQC Key

opensslencrypt versions before 1.4.9 fail to validate encryption status of embedded post-quantum private keys in file metadata. Attackers can craft files with unencrypted embedded PQC keys that decrypt under any password, bypassing authentication and producing attacker-chosen plaintext with false...

PT-2026-82604

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions openssl encrypt versions prior to 1.4.9 Description The software fails to validate the encryption status of embedded post-quantum cryptography PQC private keys within file metadata. This allows attackers to create files containing unencrypted...

Thresholding Post-Quantum Signatures

Threshold signature schemes distribute the signing process among $T$ parties out of $N$. They enable a variety of applications and their research is also motivated by a recent NIST call. However, applications are dominated by pre-quantum signatures, which are more efficient but not secure in the...

Automotive HSMs - Architectural Challenges and Security Implications

Automotive electronic control units ECUs increasingly depend on hardware-rooted security to protect software integrity, authenticity, and lifecycle management in the presence of remote and physical threats. Hardware Security Modules HSMs have become a key building block in automotive...

A Drop-In KEM Replacement for Client Signatures in Post-Quantum SSH

The transition to post-quantum cryptography is reshaping the Secure Shell SSH protocol for remote administration. Post-quantum key exchange has been deployed in OpenSSH and is being standardized, while SSH authentication largely remains a signature-replacement effort. This path preserves the...

Security issues: - Fixed uninitialized encapsderand pointer dereference - CVE-2026-46344, CVE-2026-44518: Fixed out-of-bounds read in XMSS/XMSS^MT signatu...

Cryptocurrencies in the Quantum Age: Migration Paths to PQC

Quantum computers pose a fundamental threat to blockchain systems that rely on elliptic-curve cryptography. This work reviews the quantum vulnerabilities and associated economic risks of major blockchain platforms, with a focus on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. We distinguish between at-rest,...

Quantum-Safe Web Service Architecture Using Time-Based One-Time Passwords

One-Time Passwords OTPs have become a common option for multi-factor authentication in several applications. For instance, during website login processes, OTPs are often used in conjunction with traditional text-based usernames and passwords to verify whether the access request originates from a...

YAVIN: A Unified Architecture for Secure Edge Processing in Memory

Secure, private multi-tenant execution spanning processors, memory, and accelerators remains one of the most significant challenges in modern edge computing systems. Simultaneously, processing-in-memory PIM has emerged as an effective approach for reducing the Von Neumann bottleneck by moving...

Python Now Has a Post-Quantum Encryption Library

This is good: Post-quantum cryptography is now one pip-install away for the entire Python ecosystem. With funding from the Sovereign Tech Agency, we implemented support for ML-KEM, the NIST-standard key-establishment primitive, and ML-DSA, the NIST-standard digital-signature primitive, in...

Hidden Ciphers and Where to Find Them: Static Discovery and Assessment of Cryptographic Assets in Software

Modern software systems rely on cryptography for data protection, authentication, and trust establishment, yet organizations often lack a structured view of the cryptography deployed across source code, configuration, dependencies, and cryptographic files. This lack of visibility complicates...

Measuring Post-Quantum TLS Deployment across UK Internet Sectors

Post-quantum cryptography PQC is becoming an important component of long-term trust in Internet-facing infrastructure. Publicly observable PQC support provides evidence of externally visible deployment, but does not necessarily reflect the overall progress of an organisation's post-quantum...

Mind the Gap: Policy Vs Reality in Post-Quantum TLS Deployment

Post-quantum cryptography PQC has evolved from a long-term planning concern into an operational priority. Following NIST's standardization of PQC, governments and standard bodies published transition roadmaps outlining migration timelines, priority sectors, and deployment strategies. However, our...

Claude AI Just Cracked a Post-Quantum Test Scheme and Found a Faster 7-Round AES Attack

Anthropic says Claude Mythos Preview helped derive an end-to-end key-recovery attack against HAWK-256 and a 200- to 800-fold speedup for an attack on seven-round AES-128. The HAWK attack exploits a previously unused symmetry in the lattice behind the signature scheme. Anthropic's released...
