Quantum readiness: Introduction to Modern Cryptography

18/04/2024 This article is the first of a series of articles regarding Post-Quantum Cryptography in 2024. It builds upon Synacktiv's 2021 article, "Is it post quantum time yet?", by presenting the evolutions that happened since then in the PQC world as well as various constructions that will be reused in the next articles. These articles will especially focus on giving the reader a good understanding of the attack surface one should consider when designing and implementing a PQC algorithm. This article considers that the concepts presented in o...
