Researchers of University have developed a revolutionary algorithm for quantum-stable digital signature based on results of fundamental research. The cryptographic stability of the digital signature guarantees information security in e-economics, the Internet of things and other areas. The stability of the algorithm is ensured by solving the problem that is an intractable in the quantum sense. The university is looking for partners to commercialize the technology in international markets.Description
Certified encryption standards are becoming hopelessly outdated. In 2010, a group of scientists from Japan, Europe, and the United States managed to successfully hack the data secured by a key built with commonly used RSA standard. The length of it was 768 bits. Since December 31, 2013, Mozilla browsers have ceased to support certificates of certification centers with RSA keys less than 2048 bits. The development of quantum computers is bringing the post-quantum era closer, as was reported in a 2016 report by the National Institute of Standard and Technology. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop and use new quantum-stable encryption standards. IT is because all currently followed standards based on complexity of the problem of numbers factorization and discrete logarithm, will be broken down by software based on the Shore algorithm. At Novosibirsk State University a completely new algorithm for generating a digital signature based on the complexity of solving systems of polynomial equations in integers has been developed. It is based on results of the long-term fundamental research and on the expertise of software developers working in international IT companies. They developed digital signature based on NP-hard in the quantum sense algorithms. These algorithms are resistant to hacking by quantum computers. Various security systems such as encryption/decryption, public key (PKI), key exchange, security protocols, certification verification (CA) can be implemented basing on the specified mathematically sound scheme and technology. Methods of cryptographic protection of information are currently used in trading and banking systems, electronic document management, the Internet of Things, blockchain and many other areas. To obtain an undeniable advantage in the field of information security, it is necessary to implement the development of quantum-resistant cryptosystems during the next few years. The university is looking for partners for technology transfer through a commercial agreement with technical assistance, a license agreement, an agreement on the provision of services and others.Advantages and Innovations
The novelty of the proposed technology lies in developiong such algorithms which are NP-hard in the quantum sense and which provide resistance to hacking them even if the attempts are made with the use of quantum computers. The algorithms also shows high-speed operation. The use of the novel algorithm allows customers to get significant benefits: - it guarantees resistance to quantum attacks, - it provides a high speed of document signing and signature verification, in particular, due to the speed of the algorithm, which is 315 times faster at the verification stage and 136 times – at the signing stage in comparison with the working time of the free RSA implementations.Stage of Development
