Post-quantum cryptography for quantum resilient data transfer

Abstract

Post-quantum cryptography is essential for ensuring quantum-resilient data transfer, as quantum computers have the potential to break widely used cryptographic algorithms, such as RSA and ECC, which secure most of today’s digital communications. With quantum computing advancing rapidly, the ability of these machines to factor large numbers and solve complex mathematical problems at unprecedented speeds poses a serious threat to current encryption methods. Post-quantum cryptography develops new algorithms that are resistant to attacks from quantum computers, safeguarding sensitive information and critical infrastructures. This transition is crucial to maintaining data security and privacy in the future, as governments, financial institutions, and businesses increasingly rely on quantum-resilient protocols to protect against potential breaches in a post-quantum world. This talk will present the implementations of IPsec and MACsec of the three standardized protocols for PQC (FIPS 203, 204 and 205) operating at full-line rate (100Gbit/s) and (200 Gbit/s).
