#NIST Selects #HQC as Fifth Algorithm for Post #Quantum #Encryption
HQC is the latest algorithm chosen by NIST’s Post-Quantum Cryptography project, which has overseen efforts since 2016 to head off potential threats from #quantumcomputers. HQC will take its place alongside the four algorithms NIST selected previously. Three of those algorithms have been incorporated into finished standards, including #MLKEM, which forms the core of the standard called #FIPS203.

As the world moves rapidly to adopt Post Quantum Cryptography, it would be REALLY helpful if the implementation instructions were krystal [sic] clear.

But seriously, this is something that needs to be done properly at the outset.

And for the next few iterations of PQCs that we will see over the next few years.

We've released #PuTTY version 0.83.

This release is mostly full of bug fixes following up the new development in 0.82. Most significantly, 'psftp -b' was completely broken, and now works again. Also various assertion failures, crashes and hangs. On the Unix side, we've fixed an intermittent bug making the keys on the small keypad above the arrows (Home, End, Ins, Del etc) not work in the terminal.

We've also extended our #quantumsafe cryptography support, by supporting #MLKEM as a key exchange option, in addition to NTRU Prime which we already had.

I've made a Firefox browser extension/add-on that tells you whether the web page you're looking at was accessed using quantum-safe security or not, i.e. whether ML-KEM was used by TLS when setting up the HTTPS session. (Sorry, Chrome browsers not supported due to technical limitations.) It's surprising which sites are already using quantum-safe security, and which are not.
