We developed the (MiniPQC) extension to authenticate messages and files with PQC (Post-Quantum cryptography) authentication tools.
In less than five years, when quantum computing is fully developed, the current security algorithms (tools to encrypt and decrypt information) may no longer be secure.
Therefore, our authentication systems called PQC (Post-Quantum cryptography) are already being developed.
Below is how most authentication tools can be broken with quantum computing. Actually only 3 algorithms are saved not being broken: AES-GCM (Galois/Counter Mode), SHA256 and PBKDF2 but in the future it is not known, the others are broken in a few hours and this is only the beginning…
Mini PQC (Mini Post-Quantum Cryptography) is extension that includes the following technological solutions (algorithms) to be able to create PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography) and supports quantum computing attacks, the algorithms as follows:
*CHACHA20.- message encryption.
*NEWHOPE.- key exchange.
*NTRU.- file text encryption.
*SALSA20.- message encryption.
*SPHINCS+.- message signature to verify.
*RAIBOW.- message signature to verify.
*CODECRYPT.- All types of encryption (files and messages) is a suite of various PQC algorithms through command line.
The user’s guide is found in the “HandBooks” directory in the following languages ​​(Spanish and English).
Extension is found in the “Extension” directory which are described in detail in the user manual.
Programs python are found in the “python” directory.
Thanks so much for your contribution !!!
I suggest add images of the blocks with a brief description of how they work and if possible a screenshot of how it looks on the phone
In the user’s guide (Handbook) that we created, each block and event is described in detail, as well as step by step how to use the extension with images.
The manuals are (user’s guide) found in the “HandBooks” directory in the following languages ​​(Spanish and English).
Extension is found in the “Extension” directory which are described in detail in the user manual.
Programs python are found in the “python” directory.
Yes, in some cases they are huge, but in others they are only hours and it must be considered that today the current quantum computers will evolve exponentially and these times will be reduced more and more.
I understand you perfectly. But it is easier for everyone (beginners especially) to understand what your extension does and how it can be used in their projects.
Best Regards from Santa Fe, Argentina.
EDIT:
See how the developers present their extension here:
Please don’t be offended, it’s just a suggestion !!!
Please suggested that you download the user’s guide (PDF) this is in spanish or english, there you will find as the example that you comment in the following link.
And after reviewing it, tell me if something else is needed, please.
I agree, I only made a suggestion so that it is better understood what the extension does. if you can have all the information you need in the first post (without having to read other links) much better. Is what I wanted to say, I am very sorry if my English was understood.
Please, Can you tell me… which one algorithm do you want to create the key from?
Because, all algorithms create keys…
*CHACHA20.- message encryption.
*NEWHOPE.- key exchange.
*NTRU.- file text encryption.
*SALSA20.- message encryption.
*SPHINCS+.- message signature to verify.
*RAIBOW.- message signature to verify.
*CODECRYPT.- All types of encryption (files and messages) is a suite of various PQC algorithms through command line.
Assuming that the following previous requirements mentioned in the user guide have already been carried out.
1.- Installation of Termux terminal in your smartphone.
2.- Installation of algorithm (program) in python “chacha20” into Terminal Termux.
3.- Installation of the programs in the Termux terminal of the two python programs in the path “/data/data/com.termux/files/home” this is default directory in Terminal Termux.
chacha20encryption.py
chacha20decryption.py
The python’s programs for chacha20, you can review it at:
All the above is described in detail in the user guide PDF (Spanish or English) and you can review it at:
Now we will use the encrypt and decrypt message extension as follows:
At this point it must be from a file because the algorithm PQC saves it in binary format. In future versions we will release this option.
But I think there should be no problem if you want this you can try using the extension that converts binary format to Base64, then you can already work this information as Text File.
With Text File in Base64 only use the block “File” to read and ready…
There are two ways to encrypt information in a database.
1.- encrypt the data every time an INSERT or a SELECT is performed to read, however, due to the number of records, you must check the performance.
2.- Encrypt and decrypt the entire base every time you use it, this can work if the base of is not very large, it is also performance again.
In both case you must to review the performance in database.
You can use the AES for encryption and decryption algorithm this can be used this algorithm supports future attacks and is considered one of the PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography).
