ePrint Report: Post Quantum Design in SPDM for Device Authentication and Key Establishment

Jiewen Yao, Krystian Matusiewicz, Vincent Zimmer

The Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM) defines flows to authenticate hardware identity of a computing device. It also allows for establishing a secure session for confidential and integrity protected data communication between two devices. The present version of SPDM, namely version 1.2, relies on traditional asymmetric cryptographic algorithms that are known to be vulnerable to quantum attacks. This paper describes …
