| | By Tjaden Hess Earlier this week, NIST officially announced three standards specifying FIPS-approved algorithms for post-quantum cryptography. The Stateless Hash-Based Digital Signature Algorithm (SLH-DSA) is one of these standardized algorithms. The Trail of Bits cryptography team has been anticipating this announcement, and we are excited to share an announcement of our own: we built an...

| | This is the third part of my series on Key Encapsulation Mechanisms (KEMs) and why you should care about them. Part 1 looked at what a KEM is and the KEM/DEM paradigm for constructing public key encryption schemes. Part 2 looked at cases where the basic KEM abstraction is not sufficient and showed how it...

| | Canonicalization Attacks occur when a protocol that feeds data into a hash function used in a Message Authentication Code (MAC) or Digital Signature calculation fails to ensure some property that's expected of the overall protocol. The textbook example of a canonicalization attack is the length-extension attack against hash functions such as MD5--which famously broke the...
