New Developments in Post-Quantum Cryptography
One of the main topics discussed in this podcast episode is the transition from pre-quantum to post-quantum cryptography. The hosts talk about the potential threats that quantum computers could pose to current cryptographic systems and the need to implement new algorithms that can resist attacks from quantum computers. They mention the recent NIST competition where different proposals were submitted and some key exchange and signature algorithms were selected. The selected algorithms, such as Kyber and Dilithium, are said to be slower and have larger keys compared to the current cryptographic algorithms. They also discuss the challenges of maintaining backward compatibility with older systems while introducing these new algorithms.
