Thom Wiggers is a cryptography researcher at PQShield. His PhD thesis was on the interactions of post-quantum cryptography with protocols, under the supervision of Peter Schwabe, at the Institute of Computing and Information Sciences, Radboud University in The Netherlands.

Revisiting PQ WireGuard: A Comprehensive Security Analysis With a New Design Using Reinforced KEMs

WireGuard is a VPN protocol with an efficient, DH-based handshake. Prior attempts at making it PQ heavily relied on Classic McEliece, which has deployment complications. We revisit …

Fully PQ TLS in the WWW

Key exchange in TLS is now mostly PQ! But what about authentication? In this talk, I discussed some of the ongoing work to make the costs of PQ certificates acceptable so that …

A Comprehensive Study of the Signal Handshake Protocol: Bundled Authenticated Key Exchange

The Signal protocol relies on a special handshake protocol, formerly X3DH and now PQXDH, to set up secure conversations. One of its privacy properties, of value to Signal, is …

Comprehensive Deniability Analysis of Signal Handshake Protocols: X3DH, PQXDH to Fully Post-Quantum with Deniable Ring Signatures

The Signal protocol relies on a handshake protocol, formerly X3DH and now PQXDH, to set up secure conversations. One of its privacy properties, of value to Signal, is deniability, …

How are we going to afford post-quantum authentication?

In this talk, I explain that although the focus on and progress with post-quantum key exchange is great, that does not mean that we should relax about post-quantum authentication. …
