Preparing Critical Infrastructure for Post-Quantum Cryptography

CISA has released CISA Insights: Preparing Critical Infrastructure for Post-Quantum Cryptography, which outlines the actions that critical infrastructure stakeholders should take now to prepare for their future migration to the post-quantum cryptographic standard that the National Institute of...

NIST Announces First Four Quantum-Resistant Cryptographic Algorithms

The U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST has chosen the first set of quantum-resistant encryption algorithms that are designed to "withstand the assault of a future quantum computer." The post-quantum cryptography PQC technologies include the...

The NSA Says that There are No Known Flaws in NIST’s Quantum-Resistant Algorithms

Rob Joyce, the director of cybersecurity at the NSA, said so in an interview: The NSA already has classified quantum-resistant algorithms of its own that it developed over many years, said Joyce. But it didnt enter any of its own in the contest. The agencys mathematicians, however, worked with NI...

Update on NIST's Post-Quantum Cryptography Program

NIST has posted an update on their post-quantum cryptography program: After spending more than three years examining new approaches to encryption and data protection that could defeat an assault from a quantum computer, the National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST has winnowed the 69...

CVE-2019-16905

A Denial of service flaw was found in the way OpenSSH parsed certain specially crafted XMSS eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme private keys. Any OpenSSH functionality which parses private keys is vulnerable, for example: 1. If ‘sshd’ daemon is configured to use an XMSS host key that is malformed, i...

Dr. Michio Kaku Paints Fascinating Picture of the Future at Qualys’ RSA Booth
