The SAFEcrypto consortium has been developing a series of videos to discuss the SAFEcrypto technologies and demonstrate the outcomes of the SAFEcrypto project. Watch them now via the Outcomes->Videos menu option or via this link
SAFEcrypto’s libsafecrypto, which provides a suite of software routines to implement lattice-based cryptographic schemes, is now available at: https://github.com/safecrypto/. The related wiki describes the current status of libsafecrypto and provides an ongoing description of its current capabilities. The following schemes are currently supported: Signatures: BLISS-B; Dilithium / Dilithium-G; ENS; DLP; Ring-TESLA KEM: ENS; Kyber Encryption: […]

The 5th ETSI/IQC Workshop will take place in London (UK) on 13 – 15 September 2017. Further details can be found here.
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the main body behind standards for the Internet has on November 3 published RFC 7693 “The BLAKE2 Cryptographic Hash and Message Authentication Code (MAC)”, edited by CSIT Research Fellow Dr. Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen. RFC Text: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7693 Publication of this SHA3 finalist as an RFC together with related ISO Object Identifiers enables […]
This month, the NSA announced plans that NIST’s Suite B cryptographic algorithms will be transitioning to quantum resistant algorithms in the not too distant future with the goal of providing cost-effective security against a potential quantum computer. They also advised vendors who have not yet transitioned to the Suite B elliptic curve algorithms to wait […]
Collaborative research between SAFEcrypto partners QUB and RUB has led to the publication of a journal paper entitled Practical Lattice-Based Digital Signature Schemes in the ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS) Special Issue on Embedded Platforms for Cryptography in the Coming Decade, Volume 14 Issue 3, April 2015. The focus of the paper is […]
