Cryptography - modern threats and new Terms - CLOUD or POST-CLOUD CRYPTOGRAPHY

Copy of My LinkedIn CRYPTO Group article about modern threats and new Terms in Cryptography - CLOUD or POST-CLOUD CRYPTOGRAPHY and POST-CLOUD-QUANTUM Ciphers and crypto algoritms :-)

Hi all,

Main popular Crypto threat now - "Quantum computer", and all cryptographers research in post-quantum cryptography ( see pqcrypto.org). But now we don't have quantum computer "for all" and can't crack existing crypto algoritms with quantum computers. In other side, we now have cloud computing technology and can use it for this purposes.

Cracking Passwords In The Cloud: Amazon’s New EC2 GPU Instances.

I propose to introduce a new terms in cryptography - CLOUD or POST-CLOUD CRYPTOGRAPHY (likes post-quantum). And, the best class of future ciphers and crypto algoritms - POST-CLOUD-QUANTUM :-)

Let's not only focus on "quantum computer" threat.

Regards,
Denis.

P.S. System security architects note: we must implement everywhere strong limitation the number of unsuccessful attempts to enter the wrong password/key, doesn't matter wich length of cryptokey you system has.

Part I, Part II.

Practical implementation of fully homomorphic encryption scheme for cloud billing system.

Common fully homomorphic encryption scheme is difficult to implement on practise and has some "bottlenecks".

But, if we decide to implement this scheme for "specific" (cloud billing) system, I think, we will have some "specific" indulgences. (for further reading see next updates for this Blog or directly connect with me via e-mail: kravchenko.denys@gmail.com ).

CLOUD BILLING SYSTEMS - IS TELECOM BUSINESS REALLY NEED THIS?

Many Telecom companies ask - We really need cloud billing? Why? Because it's modern trend?  What is the business implementation model? SaaS for small Telecom companies? Let's speak about this.
