Rafael Da S. Oliveira, José A.M. Xexéo, Renato H. Torres . An Analysis of the Performance and Randomness of Lattice-based Public Key Cryptography Algorithms. International Journal of Computer Applications. 185, 42 ( Nov 2023), 11-17. DOI=10.5120/ijca2023923227
The security of public key cryptography currently used has become a growing concern because of the advancement in the development of quantum computers. Therefore, the study of post-quantum cryp- tography becomes very relevant. Because of this scenario, the Na- tional Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is holding a contest to evaluate proposals for post-quantum cryptography algo- rithms for future standardization. This work performs performance evaluations of lattice-based public key cryptography schemes that participated in the third phase of the contest. Additionally, an anal- ysis of the randomness of the cryptograms generated by these al- gorithms is carried out. Based on the results found, it was possible to view the performance of these encryption schemes and compare some of their characteristics regarding the level of randomness.
