One of them, called <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pq-crystals.org\/kyber\/\">CRYSTALS-Kyber<\/a>, is co-created by UC College of Arts and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Science<\/a>s math professor Jintai Ding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not just for today but for tomorrow,&#8221; Ding said. &#8220;This is information that you don&#8217;t want people to know even 30 or 50 years from now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ding&#8217;s algorithm was designed to withstand probing from quantum computers, which harness the power of quantum mechanics to speed calculations. The faster the calculations, the more quickly a security system can be breached.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Given enough time, you can decrypt any system,&#8221; Ding said. &#8220;But if it takes 10,000 years, nobody cares.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The institute, part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, selected CRYSTALS-Kyber among three other tools.<\/p>\n<p>Symmetric encryption uses math to protect sensitive electronic information, from the texts we send to financial documents we share. Public-key systems help the sender and receiver to create a shared secret key, which is used to encrypt and decipher data to deter uninvited third parties.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The implications are very profound,&#8221; Ding said. &#8220;Without a modern encryption system, we don&#8217;t have the internet. We don&#8217;t have secure communications. No online banking. No software updates. Our whole digital society relies on modern cryptography.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Among the advantages NIST cited for CRYSTALS-Kyber was its efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It can&#8217;t be too slow,&#8221; Ding said. &#8220;You don&#8217;t want lag time. You want to read your message im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, you don&#8217;t want the encryption to take up valuable computer storage.<\/p>\n<p>The federal agency also chose three algorithms to verify people&#8217;s identities during digital transactions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The sister of Kyber is called Dilithium, which is used for authentication. They&#8217;re used together sometimes and sometimes they&#8217;re used separately,&#8221; Ding said.<\/p>\n<p>The names might ring familiar to fans of &#8220;Star Trek&#8221; and &#8220;Star Wars.&#8221; Kyber crystals power lightsabers while dilithium crystals power the warp drive of the USS Enterprise. Ding credited his collaborators for the colorful names.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Encryption is not as easy to understand as &#8216;Star Wars,'&#8221; he joked.<\/p>\n<p>The need for improved cybersecurity can&#8217;t be overstated, said Richard Harknett, chairman of UC&#8217;s Center for Cyber Strategy and Policy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Quantum technology has the potential to undermine the fundamentals of how we securely exchange digital data,&#8221; Harknett said. &#8220;Professor Jintai Ding has been a leader in this field for decades and has worked consistently to solve this looming threat. He and his team have provided NIST with a solution that will benefit global security.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are fortunate to have Dr. Ding, whose vision has driven cryptography to a new level. UC talks about next lives here. Dr. Ding has proven it does.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The standards adopted by the United States often become the de facto standards around the world, Ding said. So the new cybersecurity could have far-reaching implications.<\/p>\n<p>Ding took a circuitous route to studying cryptography. His expertise as a tenured professor of math at UC was in quantum algebra. But in 2001, he read about a quantum computer created by MIT physicist Isaac Chuang.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was amazed. I immediately realized that we have to replace all the existing key code systems protecting our data,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I gave up what I was doing and switched to cryptography. UC gave me a lot of support.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Implementing the new security is expected to take years because it&#8217;s not as easy as installing a software patch. But its protections could last for a generation.<\/p>\n<p>Even as encryption tools get more powerful, others are working on new attacks to crack them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> we&#8217;ll keep playing,&#8221; Ding said. &#8220;We can never be complacent.&#8221;\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            NIST announces first four quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    University of Cincinnati<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.uc.edu\/\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg>\n                                                            <use href=\"https:\/\/techx.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v2\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/>\n                                                        <\/svg><br \/>\n                                                    <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 New encryption tool is designed to thwart quantum computers (2022, August 26)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 26 August 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/techxplore.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-08-encryption-tool-thwart-quantum.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
