'The Trouble with FIPS' by zmre encryption regulation
Today we live in an era of uncertainty regarding the future of cryptography. Public key cryptography like RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography is, in theory, breakable by a quantum computer of sufficient power. Quantum computers exist today, but making them powerful enough to crack cryptographic codes has proven to be exceptionally challenging. As far as we know, no one has succeeded. But then again, if some Government did succeed, they probably wouldn't publish that fact to the world.
The advent of blockchain has arguably been one of the best things to ever happen to the field of cryptography. It's generated a fire hose of capital chasing experts in the field and rewarding them and companies for turning innovations in cryptography into real-world products. I'm often a skeptic about blockchain-based initiatives and I see it as an ecosystem that's polluted with fraud or, to be more generous to those with good intentions, gaps between the rhetoric and reality.
Voltage attempted to get a FIPS certification, and they also attempted to get a pairing-friendly curve blessed by NIST, but in the end, those attempts stalled out and died. It's important to note that there were no known security issues with them, nor any other stated objections. The attempt was pocket vetoed by the Government through inaction.
Large security companies caught in the debacle included RSA and Juniper Networks, both of whom made Dual_EC_DRBG their default random number generator. In the case of RSA, they received compensation for doing so. It also turned up in products from Microsoft, Cisco, and even in OpenSSL. But here's the thing: the apartment wasn't dealing the drugs. Even drug dealers have the right to housing. While the police were insinuating that I was culpable here -- that I was responsible for the criminal behavior of the tenant -- it just wasn't the case. We did eventually evict this tenant, but it was for cause and it was not related to the dealing.
