Securing Cryptography in the Age of Quantum Computing and AI: Threats, Implementations, and Strategic Response

This review examines how quantum computing and artificial intelligence challenge current cryptographic systems. We analyze the literature to assess the resilience of algorithms against quantum attacks Shor's and Grover's algorithms and AI-enhanced cryptanalysis. RSA and elliptic curve cryptograph...

Shaping a Quantum-Resistant Future: Strategies for Post-Quantum PKI

As the quantum computing era approaches, securing classical cryptographic protocols becomes imperative. Public key cryptography is widely used for signature and key exchange but it is the type of cryptography more threatened by quantum computing. Its application typically requires support via a...

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...

Post-Quantum Cryptography: Finally Real in Consumer Apps?

Most people are barely thinking about basic cybersecurity, let alone post-quantum cryptography. But the impact of a post-quantum world is coming for them regardless of whether or not it's keeping them up tonight. Today, many rely on encryption in their daily lives to protect their fundamental...

Experts Discover Flaw in U.S. Govt's Chosen Quantum-Resistant Encryption Algorithm

A group of researchers has revealed what it says is a vulnerability in a specific implementation of CRYSTALS-Kyber, one of the encryption algorithms chosen by the U.S. government as quantum-resistant last year. The exploit relates to "side-channel attacks on up to the fifth-order masked...
