SSAC Comment to NIST on Quantum Cryptography Algorithms (R1)SAC107

Status

Description:

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) submits the following comments in response to the National Institute of Standards (NIST) request for feedback on its post-quantum cryptography second-round candidate algorithms.

Our comments concern the role that new cryptographic algorithms would have in the
implementation of DNSSEC. In general, implementing quantum-resistant cryptography in DNSSEC should be straightforward. However, an issue that we foresee, given that there are some architectural size limits in the DNS, is that some of the candidate algorithms may not be supportable in the DNS.
