Securing Data with Quantum Resistant Algorithms: Implementing Data-at-Rest and Data-in-Transit Encryption Solutions

Securing Data with Quantum Resistant Algorithms

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.

CTO It has survived not only five centuries

Dominic Perez joined Curtiss-Wright PacStar in 2008 as part of the company’s Quality Department. He took an active role in product development and was part of the team that created the first small form factor (SFF) PacStar 1200-Series modules which evolved into the industry-leading PacStar 400-Series product line. 

In 2013, he led the Quality Systems and Networking Engineering departments, which among other responsibilities created the PacStar Secure Wireless Command Post (SWCP). He was promoted to Vice President of Systems Engineering in 2020 and tasked to lead the development of the company’s next generation of integrated solutions.  In 2021, he was promoted to Chief Technical Officer and appointed a Technical Fellow at Curtiss-Wright.
