Binary Authorization adds post-quantum cryptography support
Binary Authorization now supports keys using post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms like ML-DSA-65. This enhancement provides long-term security against future quantum computer threats. Users can now generate PQC key pairs and create attestors, with detailed instructions available.
Features (1) ›
- Binary Authorization
To provide long-term security and address threats from future quantum computers, Binary Authorization supports keys that use post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms. These algorithms, such as ML-DSA-65 (Dilithium3), are standardized to be resistant to attacks from both classical and quantum computers. To learn how to generate a PQC key pair and create an attestor, see Create post-quantum cryptography (PQC) keys .
