"UC Creates Next Generation of Internet Security"

An encryption tool developed in collaboration with a University of Cincinnati (UC) math professor will soon protect telecommunications, online retail and banking, and other digital systems. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has chosen four new encryption tools to help combat the next generation of hackers and thieves. CRYSTALS-Kyber is one of the new encryption tools co-created by UC College of Arts and Sciences math professor Jintai Ding. Ding's algorithm was created to withstand probing from quantum computers, which use quantum mechanics to accelerate calculations. The faster the calculations, the easier it is to breach a security system. NIST cited CRYSTALS-Kyber's efficiency as one of its benefits. Dilithium is Kyber's sister, and it is used for authentication. Sometimes they are used together, and other times they are used separately. This article continues to discuss the new CRYSTALS-Kyber encryption tool designed to protect telecommunications, online retail and banking, and other digital systems against quantum attacks.
