Google’s Post-Quantum Upgrade Doesn’t Mean We’re All Protected Yet

March 12, 2024 at 09:48PM NIST began standardizing post-quantum cryptography algorithms for global integration while NSA, CISA, and NIST issued recommendations for quantum-readiness. Google deployed Kyber for TLS encryption. However, server-side and widespread adoption challenges exist. HNDL attacks are a growing concern, urging organizations to proactively adopt quantum-safe strategies. Public infrastructure upgrades pose timing and … Read more

KyberSlash attacks put quantum encryption projects at risk

January 7, 2024 at 03:37PM The Kyber key encapsulation mechanism, including its official implementation CRYSTALS-Kyber, has been found vulnerable to flaws known collectively as KyberSlash, allowing the recovery of secret keys. Timing-based attacks and patches for KyberSlash1 and KyberSlash2 have been identified, affecting various projects, with efforts underway to address the issue. The impact varies … Read more
