PRESS RELEASE: Forging a Quantum-Secure Future - SSH Communications
Security Joins NIST PQC Migration Consortium
Helsinki, Finland – September 1, 2023 –Leading
Defensive Cybersecurity Company SSH Communications Security has
become part of the US National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) Post-Quantum Cryptography Building Block
Consortium, operated by the National Cybersecurity Center of
Excellence (NCCoE), which is a collaborative hub within NIST that
works with industry, government, and academia to address
cybersecurity challenges. This innovative collaboration paves the
way for quantum-safe solutions in the United States and beyond.
The mission of the Consortium is to bring awareness to the
issues involved in migrating to post-quantum algorithms and to
develop practices to ease migration from current public-key
algorithms to replacement algorithms. NIST does not evaluate
commercial products under this Consortium and does not endorse any
product or service used.
The collaborative research and development agreement CRADA
(National cybersecurity center of excellence migration to
post-quantum cryptography building block consortium cooperative
research and development agreement) has been officially signed by
SSH Communications Security and NIST, solidifying the partnership
between the two organizations. The agreement was signed on July 31,
2023, marking the company's official inclusion in the NIST PQC
migration consortium.
NIST PQC Algorithm Competition Yields FIPS Standards for
Quantum-Safe AlgorithmsIn response to the critical need
for enhanced cybersecurity against quantum threats, NIST published
the first FIPS draft of the preferred PQC algorithms, including
CRYSTALS-KYBER and CRYSTALS-DILITHIUM, on August 24, 2023. These
algorithms were already selected for standardization last year and
are expected to be finalized in 2024. SSH Communications Security
welcomes the standardization and is particularly enthusiastic about
the wider adoption of CRYSTALS-KYBER Key Encapsulation Mechanism
(KEM) and future migration to the preferred PQC signature
algorithms.
“The retroactive attacks on key exchange in network
communication protocols like TLS, SSH, and IPsec require migration
to PQC urgently in a safe manner to protect the key agreement from
the quantum threat,” says SSH Fellow Ms. Suvi
Lampila. "We are pleased to contribute to the NIST
PQC migration effort and also looking forward to the next step of
migrating to quantum-safe signature algorithms that require even
more industry-wide effort,” Lampila concludes.
Pioneering Quantum-Safe Solutions With a rich
heritage spanning more than 28 years in encryption expertise, SSH
Communications Security's participation in the NIST PQC migration
consortium marks an important milestone in its journey toward
securing the digital landscape against quantum threats.
"I am immensely proud that SSH Communications Security stands at
the forefront of quantum-safe solutions, safeguarding the future of
cybersecurity. Our experts are not only engaged in pioneering
quantum computing-resistant solutions but are also driving the
search for the most robust algorithms to ensure the security of our
customers and society's communications once again. As we join hands
with the NIST PQC Migration Consortium, we embark on a journey to
shape a quantum-secure world for generations to come,"
finishes Teemu Tunkelo, CEO
of SSH Communications Security.
