FrodoKem1344Shake

FrodoKem1344Shake is a conservative post-quantum algorithm that prioritizes security through a well-understood mathematical foundation.

Security Level

FrodoKem1344Shake provides:

  • NIST Level 5 security
  • Conservative security margin
  • Well-studied mathematical basis
  • Maximum protection against quantum attacks

Master Phrase Security

Your master encryption phrase is critical for data access. If lost, your encrypted files cannot be recovered. We strongly recommend using ByteHide Secrets for secure phrase management.

See our Zero-Knowledge Encryption guide for detailed information.

Implementation

// Initialize with secure key management
var secrets = new SecretsManager("<secrets_token>");
string masterPhrase = await secrets.Get("storage_master_phrase");

var storage = new StorageManager(
    "<token>", 
    masterPhrase,
    quantumAlgorithm: QuantumAlgorithmType.FrodoKem1344Shake
);

// Use in operations
await storage
    .EncryptWithQuantum()
    .Set("classified-data.dat", sensitiveData);

Performance Characteristics

  • Key Generation: ~250μs
  • Encapsulation: ~280μs
  • Decapsulation: ~260μs
  • Public Key Size: 21520 bytes
  • Secret Key Size: 43088 bytes
  • Ciphertext Size: 21632 bytes

Use Cases

Ideal for:

  • Military-grade security requirements
  • Government classified information
  • Critical infrastructure protection
  • Long-term data preservation

Conservative Security

FrodoKem1344Shake uses conservative design choices and well-understood mathematical problems, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring the highest level of security assurance.

Best Practices

  1. Key Management

    • Use ByteHide Secrets for master phrase storage
    • Never hardcode the phrase in your code
    • Implement proper key rotation procedures
    • Keep secure backups of your master phrase
  2. Implementation

    • Enable quantum protection for all operations
    • Comprehensive security audits
    • Regular compliance checks
    • Performance monitoring
  3. Security Architecture

    • Document security requirements
    • Regular threat assessments
    • Incident response planning
    • Compliance validation

Resource Requirements

FrodoKem1344Shake has significantly larger key sizes and computational overhead compared to other algorithms. Carefully consider your performance requirements and available resources when choosing this algorithm.
