Crypto Assets: Introduction to Digital Currencies and Distributed Ledger Technologies
-
This report aims to increase the understanding
of blockchain technologies. It aims to explain the underlying technical concepts and how they relate to each other. The goal is to explain the components,
and illustrate their use by pointing to deployed instances where the ideas are utilized. With this frst introductory study focusing on the rise of cryptocurrencies & DLT, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity is launching a series of information security studies in the area of crypto-assets to support policy-makers and raise awareness on the arising security and data protection.

Post-Quantum Cryptography: Current state and quantum mitigation
-
This study provides an overview of the current state of affairs on the standardization process of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). It presents the 5 main families of PQ algorithms; viz. code-based, isogeny-based, hash-based, lattice-based and multivariate-based. It also describes the NIST Round 3 finalists for encryption
and signature schemes, as well as the alternative candidate schemes. Given
that the NIST process will still run for a few years, the last chapter offers 2 proposals
that system owners can implement now in order to protect the confidentiality
of their data against a quantum capable attacker; namely hybrid implementations
that use a combination of pre-quantum and post-quantum schemes, and the mixing
of pre-shared keys into all keys established via public-key cryptography.
