FIPS has multiple ways of claiming CAVP-tested compliance of the key agreement schemes. Each of them corresponds to a different use case, for example, the key agreement may or may not include key derivation. [Read More]

NTRU cryptosystem is a grandfather of lattice-based encryption schemes. The initial idea was due to Ajtai. His work evolved into a whole area of research with the goal of creating more practical, lattice-based cryptosystems, like the first NTRU-based encryption system and signature scheme due to Hoffstein, Pipher, Silverman, Howgrawe-Graham and Whyte.

In the cryptography context, the side-channel attacks are about exploiting computer system implementation to gain information about the secret key. First such attacks were introduced by Paul Kocher in his paper called “Timing Attacks on Implementations of Diffie-Hellman, RSA, DSS, and Other Systems”. [Read More]

The goal is to connect an embedded device to VPN network. The VPN uses authentication with X.509 certificates, which means that the device needs to store securely a private key. [Read More]
