ePrint Report: Keeping Up with the KEMs: Stronger Security Notions for KEMs

Cas Cremers, Alexander Dax, Niklas Medinger

Key Encapsulation Mechanisms (KEMs) are a critical building block for hybrid encryption and modern security protocols, notably in the post-quantum setting. Given the asymmetric public key of a recipient, the primitive establishes a shared secret key between sender and recipient. In recent years, a large number of abstract designs and concrete implementations of KEMs have been proposed, notably in the context of …
