Abstract

Quantum computers pose a serious threat to currently widely deployed cryptographic protocols and to data security. New cryptographic algorithms have been developed with the aim to be resistant to attacks by both conventional and quantum computers. While these have been designed to perform well on modern computer hardware, the performance on embedded devices like e.g. used in the Internet Of Things may limit their practical usability. In this position paper, we provide a thorough performance review of the post-quantum algorithms currently evaluated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology on different Raspberry Pi generations, advocating the need for development of post-quantum cryptography application-specific integrated circuits to off-load calculations and improve performance.
