What is DRM?? (Dynamic Resource Management
N4 and Google Cloud is dangerous to a whole set of reasons and capabilities. It consolidates powers and capabilities into
Local Mesh Data Centers across current devices.
Sole Tenancy - Only virtual machine running on a particular hardware? I think?
Hyperdisk - Combine Storage Capabilities and Pools across protocols? So like iCloud Family sharing. So sharing data between all devices and more in a safe manner.
High Availability - Autohealing / Regional (multi-zone)
Scalability - Load balancing / Autoscaling
Safe Updated - Auto Updating
Stateless Serving / Batch Workload / Stateful Application
Quantum Encryptions Finalists Study
- Classic McEliece Based on Error Correction Codes | Giant Public Keys but Tiny Cipher Texts | No Decryption Failures
So protocols like Kyber, NTRU, SABER are all valid for TLS like post quantum environments
CRYSTALS is a proposal that contains two sub targets:
- Kyber - Key encapsulation
- Dilithium - Signatures
Important to realize there exists with some protocols a non zero probability of decryption failure.
Not sure what HPKE means in a cryptographic standpoint.
FALCON is difficult to implement not sure what that means and has compact public keys and smaller signatures... Apparently not good in constrained envirnoment? Stateless? Why does this matter?
Rainbow gives me relief as it's not a lattice based scheme but rather multivariate cryptography
But I've read but not verified that having multiple or cascading cryptography is dangerous??
For example Veracrypt (and predecessor Truecrypt) had multiple combined ciphers and pretty neat way to have multiple independently derived keys. So it was in XTS mode so each block could be decrypted without having to decrypt the content before or after (perfect for block based random access mode).
So AES(Twofish(Serpant())) is a valid triple encryption .The idea is that even if two of the ciphers were broken tomorrow, the third would protect. (At the expense of CPU cycles and time).
