Announced by Yarkin Doroz (Nvidia) on the blog of the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance

NVIDIA announces the release of cuPQC SDK v0.4, which brings significant enhancements and new capabilities to the cuPQC library. This release focuses on primitives that will aid the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance (PQCA) in promoting quantum-safe cryptographic solutions and advancing post-quantum cryptography (PQC) research.

Key Features and Enhancements in cuPQC 0.4

  1. Extended Hash Function Support: cuPQC 0.4 introduces support for a wider range of hash functions, including SHA2, SHA3, SHAKE, and Poseidon2-BabyBear. These robust hash functions are crucial for various cryptographic applications, ensuring secure and efficient processing.
  2. Comprehensive Merkle Tree Integration: The release includes full support for Merkle tree calculations, including creating tree structures, proof generation, and verification. Merkle trees provide an efficient mechanism for managing data integrity and verification processes, improving time complexity from O(N) to O(log N).”
