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
