Re: [tor-dev] [proposal] Post-Quantum Secure Hybrid Handshake Based on NewHope



Some great developments in lattice-based crypto. DJB just released a paper on NTRU Prime:


1. Competitively fast compared to the leading lattice-based cryptosystems including New Hope.

2. Safer implementation of NTRU that avoids vulnerable ring structures and runs in constant-time.

3. The only implemntation that mitigates decryption failures completely, killing information leaks to adversaries.

4. Includes some handy advice for "transitional cryptography" - mixing and matching classical signature schemes with PQ public-keys.
