Non-Invertible Public Key Certificates

Post-quantum public cryptosystems introduced so far do not define a scalable public key infrastructure for the quantum era. We demonstrate here a public certification system based on Lizama’s non-invertible key exchange protocol which can be used to implement a secure, scalable, interoperable and efficient public key infrastructure (PKI). We show functionality of certificates across different certification domains. Finally, we discuss a method that enables non-invertible certificates to exhibit perfect forward secrecy (PFS).
