A new IETF non-working group email list has been created. List address: [email protected] Archive: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/skex/ To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/skex
Purpose: Asymmetric-key cryptography is a powerful tool for securing communication but it does have some shortcomings and limitations, including that they are generally computationally intensive, and their security relies on the difficulty of solving certain mathematical problems, which can be solved over time with improvements in computational capacity or mathematical advances. The arrival of the quantum era is now additionally jeopardizing the security of key exchanges based on asymmetric cryptography. This drives the requirement for the establishment of keys protected by symmetric cryptography, without dependence on asymmetric algorithms. This list is for discussion of a common framework for protocols for the creation and/or use of such symmetric keys. This list belongs to IETF area: Security For additional information, please contact the list administrators. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
