Math Paths to Quantum-Safe Security: Isogeny-Based Cryptography

One of the most widely deployed public-key cryptographic algorithms is the elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange (ECDH). This, as well as most currently used protocols, is vulnerable to attacks using quantum computers. Isogeny-based cryptography offers the closest quantum-safe cryptographic primitives…

A Short History of Public Key Cryptography

While the ideal of public-key cryptography is to have a “set and forget” group of algorithms that will guarantee security forever, increasingly we are realizing this ideal is not viable. There is not one cryptographic algorithm with a fixed set of parameters that will last indefinitely. As computers…
