QUALITY, BECAUSE
CORRECT
IMPLEMENTATION IS
CRITICAL TO THE
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

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 cryptography
• The signatory must first generate a key pair consisting of a private 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
