September 17, 2024 at 08:45AM Google is switching from KYBER to ML-KEM in Chrome to counter cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs). ML-KEM will be implemented in Chrome version 131 in November 2024, addressing incompatibility issues with KYBER. The move follows NIST’s release of new encryption algorithms for future quantum threats. Microsoft is also gearing up … Read more
September 16, 2024 at 12:29PM Google is updating Chrome’s post-quantum cryptography to protect against TLS attacks using quantum computers and mitigate store-now-decrypt-later attacks by switching Kyber to Module Lattice Key Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM). This strategic move to an approved mechanism resolves issues when transitioning to a NIST-approved system. The change will be implemented in Chrome … Read more
August 13, 2024 at 04:49PM The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published three new encryption algorithms as part of its post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standardization project to enhance global cybersecurity. FIPS 203 focuses on general encryption using CRYSTALS-Kyber, while FIPS 204 and 205 aim to protect digital signatures using CRYSTALS-Dilithium and Sphincs+, respectively. NIST … Read more
August 13, 2024 at 08:06AM NIST has formally published three post-quantum cryptography standards resulting from a competition aimed at developing encryption resistant to quantum computing decryption. The standards are ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA, with a fourth, FN-DSA, selected for future standardization. IBM played a significant role in their development and is actively involved in quantum-safe … Read more
