Is the current cryptography testing and validation pipeline process capable of handling the impending Tsunami?
Wednesday October 14, 2026 11:30 - 12:00 CEST
The cryptographic community has been abuzz for a decade about everyone needing to be ready for Post Quantum Cryptography. In April 2016, NIST published NISTIR 8105, "Report on Post-Quantum Cryptography", a technical report assessing the threat that quantum computers pose to existing public-key cryptographic systems. The real question we should be asking ourselves by now: "Is the current cryptography testing and validation pipeline capable of handling the impending Tsunami?" Under the leadership at NIST/NCCoE, we have begun the challenging journey of transforming this problematic workflow from labor intensive to the speed of computing. As with any such endeavor, we began breaking the problem down into organized and achievable workflows starting with the validation of the Entropy Source, the Algorithms, and the Module itself. With any such endeavor under intense pressure and through a collaboration between highly focused practitioners, much has been accomplished, but we still have much more work to be done. The defining of protocols for the exchange of evidence between an accredited laboratory and a certifying body to prove conformance has indeed been revolutionary. However, without extensive analysis and improvement on the workflow for ALL stakeholders, we will hit a brick wall and come to an untimely collapse. The answer to our problem is not simply to claim "AI" (Artificial Intelligence) will solve everything. This talk will take the listener through the troubled past of slow, human-centric cryptographic validations and how we can enter the twenty-first century of fast, computer-centric accelerated, and repeatable validations through "IA" — "Intelligent Automation".
