pqaudit

pqaudit Scan codebases for quantum-vulnerable cryptography. Get a clear picture of what needs to migrate before Q-Day. pqaudit detects usage of RSA, ECDSA, Ed25519, ECDH, DH, and other algorithms broken by Shor's algorithm. It also identifies already-migrated PQC usage ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA so...

Quantum Machine Learning Protection of Military Quantum Key Distribution against Cryptographically Camouflaged Attacks

Quantum key distribution proves its protocol secure and says nothing about the hardware beneath it, so military and government operators fielding it for command-and-control keys monitor the channel for implementation attacks, and that monitoring has a blind spot. An adversary with a kleptographic...

Factoring 2048-bit Numbers Using 20 Million Qubits

This theoretical paper shows how to factor 2048-bit RSA moduli with a 20-million qubit quantum computer in eight hours. It's interesting work, but I don't want overstate the risk. We know from Shor's Algorithm that both factoring and discrete logs are easy to solve on a large, working quantum...

Quantum Computing and Cryptography

Quantum computing is a new way of computing -- one that could allow humankind to perform computations that are simply impossible using today's computing technologies. It allows for very fast searching, something that would break some of the encryption algorithms we use today. And it allows us to...
