Cryptography

Cryptography-related features of C5-DEC CAD are not implemented for the current Alpha release, however, the following functions are included in our backlog candidates and are on the roadmap.

  • Integration of one or more public-key encryption algorithms using a PQC solution, selected either from the NIST PQC 2022 selected algorithms or the ENISA post-quantum cryptography integration study of October 2022 by Daniel J. Bernstein (djb), Tanja Lange et al.

  • Integration of a feature for cryptographically signing individual files and verifying digital signatures, e.g., via OpenPGP, to verify the authenticity of a file, with an additional option to sign using a digital signature algorithm either from NIST PQC 2022 selected algorithms or the ENISA post-quantum cryptography integration study October 2022.

In the meantime, we recommend using the well-known OpenPGP suite, and for the more technically proficient users, we recommend the suite of cryptographic software developed by Daniel J. Bernstein et al., e.g., NACL, libpqcrypto; it is also worth mentioning the Open Quantum Safe project.

Our future implementations will be building on such endeavors, but with a preference for building on top of verified cryptographic implementations, e.g., see EverCrypt and HACL*.
