The biggest risk to PQC migration is you (and other humans)

What if the biggest threat to your cybersecurity strategy isn’t quantum computing, but humans? In this episode of Shielded, we welcome Professor Bill Buchanan, OBE, FRSE, a global leader in applied cryptography, digital trust, and secure system design.

The Crypto Agility Paradox: When Hardware Becomes Your Security Bottleneck

In this episode of Shielded, we are joined by Cassie Crossley, Vice President of Supply Chain Security in the Global Cybersecurity & Product Security Office at Schneider Electric. Cassie shares the hard-earned lessons from a multi-year crypto agility program in one of the world’s largest OT environments.

Your Hardware Refresh Is a Quantum Deadline with Mamta Gupta, Lattice Semiconductor

In this episode of Shielded, Johannes Lintzen sits down with Mamta Gupta of Lattice Semiconductor to explore how hardware-rooted security must evolve to meet the post-quantum challenge.

Mask Compression: High-Order Masking on Memory-Constrained Devices

In this work, we introduce mask compression. This conceptually simple technique is based on standard, non-masked symmetric cryptography.

An Efficient and Generic Construction for Signal’s Handshake (X3DH): Post-quantum, State Leakage Secure, and Deniable

The Signal protocol is a secure instant messaging protocol that underlies the security of numerous applications such as WhatsApp, Skype, Facebook Messenger among many others.

Breaking Parallel ROS: Implication for Isogeny and Lattice-based Blind Signatures

In this work, we provide a simple and novel attack on blind signatures based on identification protocols performing parallel repetition to reduce the soundness error.

New Whitepaper: “The new NIST standards are here: what does it mean for PQC in 2025?”

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

CV2EC: Getting the Best of Both Worlds

Converting CryptoVerif models to EasyCrypt: getting the best of both worlds.

Adaptively Secure 5 Round Threshold Signatures from MLWE/MSIS and DL with Rewinding

T-out-of-N threshold signatures have recently seen a renewed interest, with various types now available, each offering different tradeoffs. However, one property that has remained elusive is adaptive security.

Flood and submerse: Distributed Key Generation and Robust Threshold Signature from Lattices

We propose a new framework based on random submersions for constructing verifiable short secret sharing and showcase it to construct efficient threshold lattice-based signatures in the hash-and-sign paradigm, when based on noise flooding.

Two-Round Threshold Signature from Algebraic One-More Learning with Errors

In this work, we construct the first efficient two-round lattice-based threshold signature without relying on FHE or HTDC.

CSI-Otter: Isogeny-based (Partially) Blind Signatures from the Class Group Action with a Twist

In this paper, we construct the first provably-secure isogeny-based (partially) blind signature scheme. (journal version)

Post-Quantum Secure Boot for Processors and FPGAs

This whitepaper summarises the current state of the PQC standards and the governmental regulations. It especially highlights the US Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite (CNSA) 2.0 which mandates software/firmware1 signing to use quantum-safe signatures as the default option by 2025, and as the only option by 2030.

Formally verifying Kyber Episode V: Machine-checked IND-CCA security and correctness of ML-KEM in EasyCrypt

Using computer-assisted proof tools to ensure security and correctness of Kyber and NIST-standard ML-KEM.

Post-Quantum Cryptography for Defence and Governmental Applications: Overview and Use Cases

Protecting the Military against the Quantum Threat to Today’s Cryptography.
