https://date26date-conference.com/programme#FS10\n\n\nAs NIST recently
defined, “Cryptographic (crypto) agility refers to the capabilities
needed to replace and adapt cryptographic algorithms in protocols,
applications, software, hardware, and infrastructures without interrupting
the flow of a running system in order to achieve resiliency'”.
Crypto-agility is a fundamental extra functional requirement for
cryptographic systems, since they are exposed to state-of-the-art attacks,
but also, possibly, to attacks that will materialize in the future. This
last aspect is extremely relevant when the computation environment is
rapidly changing, for instance because of novel attacks and threat coming
up (such as the one caused by quantum computational power). This is
exactly the case of devices and applications that use asymmetric
cryptography, that will be outdated by the deployment of scalable quantum
computers. This special session addresses the topic of crypto-agility
focusing on the design, integration, and deployment of quantum resistant
primitives, presenting tools to rapidly design efficient hardware
primitives resistant against quantum computational power, and discussing
design methodologies and interfaces to integrate these primitives with the
rest of the system, maintaining agility while not affecting the
performance. The topic is timely and of interest to the attendees of DATE.
On the one hand, a variety of cryptosystems are demanded to be deployed in
an environment that requires agility. On the other hand, it is crucial to
exploit tools to efficiently design these cryptosystems and to interface
them with the rest of the system. It is thus of crucial importance that
designers of future systems are aware of all the facets of crypto-agility,
and that they have full knowledge of specific architectures and designs
that help to provide such extra functional requirements.
