New Whitepaper: “The new NIST standards are here: what does it mean for PQC in 2024?”

Yesterday NIST published their finalized post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards. This paper discusses the standards in more detail and what comes next.

A 334 μW 0.158 mm² ASIC for Post-Quantum Key-Encapsulation Mechanism Saber With Low-Latency Striding Toom–Cook Multiplication
We demonstrate that a memory-efficient striding Toom–Cook with lazy interpolation results in a highly compact, low-power implementation, which, on top, enables a very regular memory access scheme.

A New Framework for More Efficient Round-Optimal Lattice-Based (Partially) Blind Signature via Trapdoor Sampling
Blind signatures, proposed by Chaum (CRYPTO’82), are interactive protocols between a signer and a user, where a user can obtain a signature without revealing the message to be signed.
