OpenSSL Conference

Security certification and new cryptographic constructions
2025-10-08 , Belvedere I/ Security, Compliance & the Law

I will address both historical experiences as well as current takes at the security (product) certification for novel cryptographic constructions, with an outlook for the Security Target and Protection Profile establishment (for the novel algorithms) within the Common Criteria (and indirectly thus also EUCC) environment. The talk will also summarize suggestions for future steps in the path of such certifications.


Description? To be or not to be the same as the abstract? That is the question!? I hereby describe my proposal as a talk on the topic indicated by the abstract... :-)
