Authors: Anne Dames, Richard Kisley
On July 5, 2022 NIST announced the selected algorithms for the Post Quantum Cryptography Standardization project. These included 4 algorithms that IBM employees and affiliates contributed to: CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON, Sphincs+ (digital signature), and CRYSTALS-KYBER (key-establishment).
Please join us in
celebrating
the standardization of all the selected algorithms as the culmination of years of work by the global cryptography community.
Note further that the IBM Crypto Express8S (CEX8S) for IBM Z16 includes implementations of the CRYSTALS-Dilithium and CRYSTALS-KYBER algorithms, while the IBM Crypto Express7S (CEX7S) for IBM Z16 and IBM Z15 includes CRYSTALS-Dilithium support. The CEX7S is also known as the IBM 4769 Cryptographic Coprocessor for IBM POWER/Cognitive, IBM I and x86.
