Furthermore, for asymmetric algorithms, we rely on the existence of some trapdoor function which is easy to perform one way and hard to undo the other. So NIST believe the best plan is to act preemptively and to start working on getting new, quantum-safe algorithms out there as soon as possible.Ĭonstructing new cryptographic algorithms is complicated. The motivation is that the asymmetric cryptography currently in place - Diffie-Hellman key exchanges using elliptic curves for a KEM and ECDSA/EdDSA for digital signatures - can be efficiently broken by an attacker with access to a sophisticated quantum computer using Shor’s algorithm.Īlthough the construction of such a quantum computer has not been achieved, history tells us that the uptake of new algorithms is slow (we still see 3DES and MD5 in the wild, for example). The aim was to call on cryptographers to submit algorithms split between two categories: key encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs) and digital signatures. In 2016, NIST announced the Post-Quantum Cryptography Project. To understand the importance of the attack, it helps to put it in context.

Thanks to some additional performance enhancements that we’ll talk about along the way, you can break the SIKE NIST level 1 parameter set with your laptop, a fresh download of SageMath and only 10 minutes of your time. It’s been a wild week and there’s a lot to learn in more detail, but for those eager to break some isogeny based crypto protocols, the implementation is now available on a public GitHub repository.

This blog post is about the attack, but it’s mainly a story about how the code was reimplemented and the help which was received from collaborators along the way. There’s nothing more convincing than seeing the secret key appear before your very eyes! This was not only a great opportunity to learn exactly how the attack came together, but the effort should also then open up the research to the cryptographic community, who could verify the attack themselves.

Motivated by a beautiful attack and a love of open-source software, a plan was made to read the attack and implementation and then reimplement it in SageMath a free, open-source mathematics software system. This meant that despite being able to run the attack over a lunch break, most of the community was unable to verify the result at all. Magma is a very efficient and powerful piece of software, but it is difficult for people to obtain access to. However, the proof of concept code published has been written using the computer algebra software system Magma.

The paper says that their proof of concept code can break the proposed NIST level 1 parameters (supposedly approximating security on-par with AES-128) in an hour of single core computation, and the strongest parameter set in less than 24 hours. SIDH is at the core of the Post-Quantum key encapsulation mechanism SIKE, which was expected to continue to round four of the NIST Post-Quantum Project for consideration of standardisation. Wouter Castryck and Thomas Decru of KU Leuven published a paper “ An efficient key recovery attack on SIDH (preliminary version)” describing a new attack on the Supersingular Isogeny Diffie-Hellman (SIDH) protocol together with a corresponding proof-of-concept implementation.
