Cisco Blog > Security ETSI/IQC’s 4th Workshop on Quantum-Safe Cryptography Quantum computers could break commonly used public key algorithms, which would affect cryptography used today. For that reason, there has been great attention on quantum safe crypto recently. We have blogged about it in numerous occasions [1], [2] , [3]. In that context, last week the 4th ETSI/IQC on Quantum-Safe Cryptography in Toronto, Canada brought together diverse players in the quantum-safe cybersecurity community to facilitate the knowledge exchange and collaboration required to transition to a quantum secure era.

Cisco was among the participants of the workshop with two presentations. Scott Fluhrer presented a method for adding quantum resistance in the IKEv2 key establishment by using postquantum-secure preshared keys, and proposed a scheme for adding quantum resistance in the TLS key exchange without introducing changes to the TLS handshake. The former has been submitted to IETF in order to add quantum resistance to the IKEv2 key establishment. The TLS proposal aimed to provide a minimally-disruptive solution, without significant extensions to the protocol, by hiding a new algorithm behind the abstraction barrier of DHE. ketto backpackIn both cases, the result is a key establishment that is postquantum secure as long as at least one of its two algorithms is secure.nike ultimatum gear backpack for sale David McGrew later focused on hash-based signatures (HBS) in the workshop. samsonite wander-full laptop backpack l

He summarized the most prevalent hash-based signature schemes proposed in the literature and standards bodies today. He presented the practical challenges and tradeoffs between these schemes and describe some considerations of signatures being used in certain environments. David then tried to address some of the state management challenges of stateful HBS schemes. Part of our HBS vision has been shared in our recent blog. We also had the chance to attend interesting presentations in the CxO sessions, ISARA’s PQ browser demo, Andreas Husling’s PQCrypto presentation, NIST’s standardization effort session, quantum-safe IoT by Phillips, LWE by Jintai Ding and more. We further had more discussions with industry peers, academics and standards representatives from ISARA, Microsoft, Intel, Entrust, NIST, CESG, ETSI and CRYPTO4A. We must say that all discussions were very interesting and converged towards the need for a strong foundation on which we build an agile framework where used algorithms can be transparently updated in a post-quantum world as necessary.

Cisco will continue to influence and collaborate with various players towards this strategy. We would like to thank ETSI and IQC for organizing a very interesting workshop.Browse our selection of durable neoprene camera and binocular straps and slings featuring our innovative system, and . Items 1 to 24 of 36 totalOn 13 and 14 December 2016, Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), together with ASEANAPOL and INTERPOL, and with the support of the Romanian National Police and the Royal Thai Police, convened for the Third Strategic Meeting on Payment Card Fraud (PCF) in Bangkok Thailand. The event was hosted by the Electronic Transaction Development Agency (public organisation), and the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society. Thirty law enforcement officers from four EU Member States (Austria, France, Greece, and Romania) and their ASEAN counterparts (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand) participated in the two-day meeting to discuss operational achievements in the area of combating cyber fraud and to agree on the steps to follow with regard to security of non-cash means of payment.

The event focused on the exchange of expertise in the area of prevention and combating ATM/POS fraud, data compromising, ATM malware, and eCommerce fraud. A specific action plan concerning further cross-regional cooperation between European and Asian law enforcement was devised, following recent successful operations between the two parties. During the event, experts presented new and so far unreported modus operandi detected by their investigative units and analysed cases involving European criminals that are active in Asia. The participants also agreed on operational plans for coordinated actions in the near future. Police Major General Chayout Rattanaubol from the Central Investigation Bureau of the Royal Thai Police addressed the issues of threats in the digital payment environment and countering cyber fraud. The Deputy Head of the European Union Delegation to Thailand, Luisa Ragher, highlighted the need for inter-regional cooperation among the EU’s law enforcement agencies and the private sector, and those of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).

A public-private partnership was achieved thanks to the active participation of the European ATM Security Team (EAST), LiquidNexxus, and the involvement of the Bank of Thailand and the Thai commercial banks. The ThaiCERT - ETDA facilitated the cooperation between the law enforcement community and the Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs). Steven Wilson, Head of EC3, pointed out: “Electronic transaction security is of great importance to businesses and customers and this cannot be achieved without strong international cooperation between the public and private sectors. This event has provided the law enforcement community with a comprehensive overview of payment fraud and how it is evolving globally." Europol’s EC3 has consistently undertaken a proactive approach, assisting EU law enforcement authorities (LEAs) to combat PCF. A successful first strategic meeting in this crime field was held in Singapore in November 2015, initiating investigations both in the EU and Asia.
