State-of-the-Art Crypto Goes Post-Quantum (with Containerized TinySSH)

emil (Slashdot reader #695) writes: The advent of quantum computing poses a well-recognized threat to RSA and other well-known asymmetric cryptosystems. It has been four years since NIST opened the post-quantum cryptography competition, and we are seeing extensive delays compared to AES. A new and (hopefully) quantum-secure SSH key exchange, based on NTRU Prime, has been present in OpenSSH since January 2019, first implemented in TinySSH shortly before. This key exchange is marked by OpenSSH as experimental, and not enabled by default. For those ready to evaluate NTRU Prime, or otherwise seeking an SSH server with "state-of-the-art crypto" (as described by TinySSH author Jan Mojí), a complete procedure for a Musl build and Busybox container deployment is presented, with additional focus on supplemental servers and key conversion.
