post-quantum crypto agility

Quantum computers will decimate the security infrastructure of the digital economy – the only question is when.

Once they are available, some of the main asymmetric algorithms used in cryptography today – used to protect critical infrastructure, software update, payment mechanisms, media streaming, IoT devices, connected cars, government or financial secrets or documents – will no longer be safe.

Is this a concern for your business? Then post-quantum “crypto agility” is a must.

Industry leaders in post-quantum crypto work with Utimaco HSMs.

Utimaco Post-Quantum Crypto Agility

Michele Mosca, University of Waterloo: Quantum computer will decimate the IT security infrastructure as we know it.

Lily Chen, NIST: How can HSMs help with the biggest security challenges of post-quantum cryptography?

Itan Barmes, Deloitte: On why we need to face the quantum risk  to cryptography NOW!

Quantum computing – the end of cryptography?

Experts state that quantum computing will kill the two most frequently used, asymmetric crypto algorithms – those based on RSA and Elliptic Curve –, with a 17% chance that they will be broken within the next 10 years. What will this mean for you?

If your business is based on any of the above, and you have product life cycles that are longer than 5 to 7 years, you should read on. Your seeded microchips, secure elements, embedded HSMs, encryption keys and digital signature certificates, generated with the affected algorithms, are likely to be decrypted, compromised or cloneable within the next decade.

Click here to watch Michele Mosca’s view on it.

Utimaco Post-Quantum Crypto Timeline

Is crypto agility the answer?

The good news is that new, quantum resistant algorithms will be available in the near future. The bad news is that replacing certificates, or the seeding in secure elements, rolling keys or exchanging crypto material with material generated using the new quantum resistant algorithms will take time. Implementing, and deploying quantum-safe material and algorithms will require a certain amount of “crypto agility”, i.e. you will need to be able to exchange non-quantum safe information with quantum safe information – secrets, chips and the code to use them – and possibly also on devices already in the market.

Crypto agility is a must

If you are in the business of designing products, schemes and architectures, that use embedded secure elements, digital certificates, payment mechanisms or IoT/connected devices, there will be no “1 size fits all solution” or algorithm in future. So, how do you make sure that what you design today is PQ-secure against future requirements? By designing for crypto agility. What does that mean in practice? Look out for the following points:

  • Hybrid implementations combine the best of proven crypto and PQ-safe approaches
  • You will need a software development kit (SDK) to allow you to implement PQ-safe solutions now
  • Try our PQ-safe simulator today!

If you are working with HSMs as the backbone of the security infrastructure used to generate crypto material, try working with Utimaco HSMs. Our HSMs support the upgrading of firmware or algorithms that allow new algorithms to be incorporated into the HSMs, as needed, to accommodate for the evolving demands on encryption.

We are proud of the fact that Utimaco HSMs are – already today – being used by major researchers in the post-quantum crypto field, by companies around the world, such as Deloitte,  Isara, LG Electronics and Microsoft Research.

Microsoft Research has published their research based on the Utimaco SDK on their GitHub.
