End-to-end compilable implementation of quantum elliptic curve logarithm in Qrisp

Paper published (pre-print) online Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is a widely established cryptographic technique, recognized for its effectiveness and reliability across a broad range of applications such as securing telecommunications or safeguarding cryptocurrency wallets. Although being more robust than RSA, ECC is, nevertheless, also threatened by attacks based on Shor’s algorithm, which made it a… Read more »

TNO: Cryptographic Asset Discovery and Inventory

A group of public sector organizations of the Netherlands have commissioned TNO to compile this study on Crypto Asset Discovery and Inventory (CADI) tooling (Dutch only). Organisations must take action now in order to migrate to quantum-safe cryptography in a timely manner. An important first step in this process is to conduct an inventory of… Read more »

Mappings of Migration to PQC Project Capabilities to NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 and to Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems and Organizations

This white paper provides a mapping of the project’s capabilities to these two resources. This helps organizations align their PQC migration efforts with established security outcomes (and broader cybersecurity risk management practices) and identify specific security controls and objectives needed to successfully implement PQC migration. Document on PQC migration published by NIST, asking for your… Read more »

JZLint 2.0: New Tool for Analyzing PQC Certificates

Open source software provided by MTG and Cryspen This software tool helps analyze Post-Quantum (PQC) certificates and their public keys – an important step toward ensuring security in a post-quantum world. JZLint 2.0 enables the so-called linting, i.e., checking certificates for errors and conformance with relevant specifications. This process is a key component in the… Read more »
