performance.” Currently, Security Innovation is betting that rapid adoption and implementation
of the system will help push NTRU through the FIPS 140 certification process so it can be
adopted by the US Government and DoD. There’s a boatload of information on their website
(https://www.securityinnovation.com/security-lab/crypto.html) detailing the state and status of
the system, its definitely worth a look at.

Wrapping up, our global public key cryptography infrastructure is badly broken, one major
public key system is near its end of life and the other has been compromised and no longer a
trustworthy. NTRU is a new public key system that brings strength, speed, longevity and
trustworthiness to the table. The advent of true quantum computing is near and that will break
most every type of cryptography known, but NTRU will resist an attack, giving up a little strength
but not falling over like the rest. Much is known about NTRU; its been positively reviewed in the
international government, commercial, and education sectors and now that its been open
sourced, its ready to begin replacing our broken public key infrastructure!
