ALGORITHM'S SECURITY

12. Quantum cryptography vs low
memory cryptography
 The National Institute of Standards and Technology has
announced Ascon as the algorithm that will serve as the
official standard for lightweight cryptography of low-
memory internet-of-things devices
 Since the NIST competition was announced in 2018,
selecting the best, most secure, and most efficient algorithm
has been ongoing, and the standard may not be ready until
late
 According to NIST, the most peculiar aspect of the selection
process was the effectiveness of these new algorithms ‘most
of the finalists exhibited performance advantages over NIST
standards on various target platforms without introducing
security concerns’

13. Quantum cryptography vs low
memory cryptography
 This statement is especially concerning given that NIST is one of
the most frequently updated and globally recognised as one of
the most advanced cybersecurity frameworks
 Lightweight cryptography ensures that data is securely
transmitted from and to the "innumerable" tiny IoT devices,
necessitating a new category of cryptographic algorithms
 The vast majority of IoT micromachines, sensors, actuators, and
other low-memory devices used for network guidance and
communication operate on extremely low electrical power
 Quantum cryptography presents a unique approach compared to
lightweight cryptography like Ascon, which caters to low-memory
devices such as IoT devices

14. Artificial Intelligence
 Although the concept of machines and statues that
mimic human thought and behaviour can be found in
ancient myths and legends, the scientific field of AI
emerged in the mid-twentieth century
 In 1950, British mathematician Alan Turing
established the Turing Test as a benchmark for a
machine's ability to exhibit intelligent actions that are
identical to those of a human
 Over the years, AI research has experienced peaks
and troughs, commonly referred to as "AI winters"
and "AI springs."

15. Quantum Cryptography
 The foundation of quantum cryptography can be
traced back to the early twentieth century
 Quantum mechanics raised challenges and
opportunities for information processing due to
the counterintuitive properties of quantum
systems, such as superposition and entanglement
 This protocol utilised quantum mechanics
principles to allow two parties to create a shared,
secret random key that was secure due to physical
laws

16. Methodology

cryptography, uses two mathematically linked
keys: public and private
 PK cryptography makes secure communication
and cryptographic features like key exchanges,
digital signatures, and data encryption possible
 PK cryptography ensures that communication
between parties is confidential and secure without
needing a shared key

32. Key concepts in

key and a public key to generate a digital signature
 The private key is kept confidential and never shared, whereas the
public key is made available
 A unique hash of the document or message to be signed is
generated using a hash function
 This hash value uniquely represents the document's content
 Hash signing occurs when the signer encrypts the generated hash
value using their private key
 To create this signature, the signer must generate a key pair
consisting of a private key and a public key
 The private key is confidential and never shared, while the public
key is available to all

33. Key concepts in
cryptography
 This signature is an exclusive
cryptographic representation of the
signed hash value to ensure the
utmost security of your documents
 This signature is an exclusive
cryptographic representation of the
signed hash value unique to the signer
and the document

34. Introduction to Quantum
