Previously, in the first of our two-part series of white papers on Post Quantum Resistant Algorithms, “Securing Data with Quantum Resistant (QR) Algorithms: An Introduction to Post-Quantum Resistant Encryption,” we provided an overview of the U.S. Government’s efforts to provide cryptographic protections for NSS (National Security Systems) and Federal Information Processing Systems (FIPS) in advance of the threat of a working quantum computer capable of decrypting critical data.
In this second paper, we cover challenges for deploying QR encryption, including pre-shared key (PSK) management, RFC 8784 - an extension of Internet Key Exchange (IKE) v2 that allows it to be resistant to a quantum computer by using PSKs, and how to implement data-at-rest (DAR) and data-in-transit (DIT) QR encryption solutions today using commercial FPGA devices and off-the-shelf hardware.
