Episode notes
Quantum Threat to Encryption
- Quantum computers threaten current encryption by solving hard math problems.
- Shor's algorithm can break both RSA and elliptic curve cryptography.
Isogeny Cryptography
- Elliptic curve cryptography relies on the difficulty of the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem.
- Isogeny-based cryptography, proposed as post-quantum secure, has been found insecure.
Post-Quantum Cryptography
- Lattice-based cryptography, like Crystals-Dilithium and Kyber, offers post-quantum security.
- NIST has approved these algorithms for post-quantum key exchange and digital signatures.
