ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,388,631, issued on Aug. 12.

"System and methods for secure communication using post-quantum cryptography" was invented by John A. Nix (Evanston, Ill.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A server and a device can conduct a secure session with (i) multiple post-quantum cryptography (PQC) key encapsulation mechanisms (KEM) and (ii) forward secrecy. The device can store a server static public key (PK.server) before establishing a secure session with the server. The device can use PK.server to encrypt a device ephemeral public key (ePK.device) into a first ciphertext. The first ciphertext can also include a device digital signature. The server can...
