Onion-Routed Multi-Circuit Key Establishment for Quantum-Resilient Sessions
Tushin Mallick, Ashish Kundu, Ramana Kompella
Public-key primitives that today anchor session-key establishment - RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and elliptic-curve cryptography - reduce to integer factorization or discrete logarithm and…
Aquaman: A Transparent Proxy Architecture for Quantum Resilient Key Establishment
Tushin Mallick, Ashish Kundu, Ramana Kompella
The harvest-now, decrypt-later (HNDL) threat--adversaries intercepting and archiving ciphertext today for retrospective decryption once quantum computers mature--turns the future q…
Quantum-Resistant Networks: A Review of Primitives, Protocols and Best Practices
Elisa Bertino, Ramana Kompella, Ashish Kundu +3
Large-scale quantum computers threaten the public-key cryptographic foundations underpinning today's network security infrastructures. While significant progress has been made in s…
The Quantum-Cryptographic Co-evolution
Ashish Kundu, Ramana Kompella
As quantum computing matures toward the realization of Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers (CRQC), global cryptographic infrastructure faces an existential threat. This pa…
Post-Quantum Cryptographic Analysis of Message Transformations Across the Network Stack
Ashish Kundu, Vishal Chakraborty, Ramana Kompella
When a user sends a message over a wireless network, the message does not travel as-is. It is encrypted, authenticated, encapsulated, and transformed as it descends the protocol st…
Study of Post Quantum status of Widely Used Protocols
Tushin Mallick, Ashish Kundu, Ramana Kompella
The advent of quantum computing poses significant threats to classical public-key cryptographic primitives such as RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography. As many critical network and…
