Title:
SoK: An Engineer’s Guide to Post-Quantum Cryptography for Embedded Devices
Authors: Maximilian Pursche, Nikolai Puch, Sebastian N. Peters, Michael P. Heinl
Abstract:Embedded systems are flexible and cost-effective
and thus have found a use case in almost every part of
our daily lives. Due to their widespread use, they have also
become valuable targets for cyber attacks. However, translating
cutting-edge cyber security from servers and desktops to the
embedded realm can be challenging due to the limited com-
putational power and memory of embedded devices. Although
quantum computing is still in early research and development,
it threatens to break conventional asymmetric cryptography
which is a key component of most secure applications currently
in use. Given the long lifespan of embedded devices, which can
last for decades, research must find solutions for post-quantum
(PQ) security rather sooner than later. The field of post-
quantum cryptography (PQC) received significant attention
in 2019 when the National Institute for Standards and Tech-
nology (NIST) launched a competition to find suitable PQC
algorithms. During the PQC competition, the applicability of
novel PQC algorithms to embedded devices was an important
topic that garnered significant research interest. We provide
a survey of the latest research regarding PQC for embedded
systems. However, rather than focusing on PQC algorithms,
our study revolves around practical use cases intending to help
embedded developers understand the current state of research
from an integration perspective.
