What's new in Go's cryptography libraries: Part 2 (Go Time #298)
Dec 12, 2023
Filippo Valsorda, Roland Shoemaker, and Nicola Murino from the Go Team are back to catch us up on what's new in Go's crypto libraries. They discuss transitioning from pre-quantum to post-quantum cryptography, the performance impact of Chateree on common operations, implementing a new extension to the OpenSSH protocol, challenges in the SSH world, their unpopular opinions, and even their cooking abilities and kitchen setups.

Quick takeaways
- Transitioning to post-quantum cryptography to protect against quantum computer attacks is a priority for Go's cryptography libraries.
- Implementing new SSH security features, such as the 'ping' protocol extension, presents challenges in maintaining backward compatibility and addressing algorithm negotiation complexities.
Deep dives
Moving from pre-quantum to post-quantum cryptography
The podcast episode discusses the need to transition from pre-quantum to post-quantum cryptography as quantum computers could potentially break current cryptographic methods. The episode mentions the NIST competition where various proposals were submitted and a selection process resulted in the choice of key exchange and signature algorithms. The selected algorithms aim to provide security against potential quantum computer attacks. The episode also highlights the challenge of the larger sizes of keys and signatures in post-quantum algorithms, which could impact performance and compatibility.
