Google Chrome Switches to ML-KEM for Post-Quantum Cryptography Defense

Google has announced that it will be switching from KYBER to ML-KEM in its Chrome web browser as part of its ongoing efforts to defend against the risk posed by cryptographically relevant quantum computers CRQCs. "Chrome will offer a key share prediction for hybrid ML-KEM codepoint 0x11EC," David...

CVE-2024-37305

A flaw was found in oqs-provider, which is an OpenSSL 3 provider that contains post-quantum algorithms. The issue occurs from the way oqs-provider handles lengths decoded with DECODEUINT32 at the start of serialized hybrid traditional + post-quantum keys and signatures. As a result, malformed inp...

CVE-2024-37305

CVE-2024-37305 affects the oqs-provider (OpenSSL 3 post-quantum provider) where lengths decoded with DECODE_UINT32 at the start of serialized hybrid keys/signatures are unchecked, enabling out-of-bounds memory reads/writes that can crash or leak information. The issue does not affect plain/non-hy...

Zoom Adopts NIST-Approved Post-Quantum End-to-End Encryption for Meetings

Popular enterprise services provider Zoom has announced the rollout of post-quantum end-to-end encryption E2EE for Zoom Meetings, with support for Zoom Phone and Zoom Rooms coming in the future. "As adversarial threats become more sophisticated, so does the need to safeguard user data," the compa...

New Lattice Cryptanalytic Technique

A new paper presents a polynomial-time quantum algorithm for solving certain hard lattice problems. This could be a big deal for post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, since many of them base their security on hard lattice problems. A few things to note. One, this paper has not yet been peer...

Why Apple added protection against quantum computing when quantum computing doesn’t even exist yet

Apple released a new update for nearly all its devices that provides an all-new type of encryption for its iMessages to the point that, in theory, iMessages are now protected against attacks from quantum computers. This is a little tricky because, as weve covered before, quantum computers dont...

Apple Announces Post-Quantum Encryption Algorithms for iMessage

Apple announced PQ3, its post-quantum encryption standard based on the Kyber secure key-encapsulation protocol, one of the post-quantum algorithms selected by NIST in 2022. Theres a lot of detail in the Apple blog post, and more in Douglas Stabilas security analysis. I am of two minds about this...

Apple Unveils PQ3 Protocol - Post-Quantum Encryption for iMessage

Improving the Cryptanalysis of Lattice-Based Public-Key Algorithms

The winner of the Best Paper Award at Crypto this year was a significant improvement to lattice-based cryptanalysis. This is important, because a bunch of NISTs post-quantum options base their security on lattice problems. I worry about standardizing on post-quantum algorithms too quickly. We are...
