3. 2. A Performance Evaluation of Post-Quantum Cryptography in the Signal Protocol

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Informationskodning

   Author : Markus Alvila; [2019]
   Keywords : post-quantum; resistant; cryptography; commutative; supersingular; isogeny; Diffie-Hellman; CSIDH; Signal; protocol; X3DH; Double Ratchet; Curve25519; performance; evaluation; CPU; profiling; Android;

   Abstract : The Signal protocol can be considered state-of-the-art when it comes to secure messaging, but advances in quantum computing stress the importance of finding post-quantum resistant alternatives to its asymmetric cryptographic primitives. The aim is to determine whether existing post-quantum cryptography can be used as a drop-in replacement for the public-key cryptography currently used in the Signal protocol and what the performance trade-offs may be.
