Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)

PQShield and Riscure Collaborate on Post-Quantum Cryptography Side Chanel Analysis Validation

Even when PQC algorithms are mathematically secure, they can potentially be broken by a class of exploits known as side-channel attacks.  These attacks exploit the algorithm implementation in hardware or software rather than the underlying mathematical problem itself and underline how important it is that any side-channel vulnerabilities are identified and addressed before solutions are widely rolled out.

U.S. Spy Agency Sets Requirements and Deadline for Adoption of Post-Quantum Cryptography

The Director of NSA is the National Manager for NSS and therefore issues guidance for NSS. The algorithms in CNSA 2.0 are an update to those in the currently required Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite (now referred to as CNSA 1.0) listed in CNSSP 15, Annex B (released in 2016). The CNSA 2.0 algorithms have been analyzed as secure against both classical and quantum computers, and they will eventually be required for NSS.
