Kyber1024

Kyber1024 is ByteHide Storage's default quantum-resistant algorithm, providing the highest level of security in the Kyber family.

Overview

Kyber1024 is a lattice-based key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) that offers:

• NIST Level 5 security (highest)
• Excellent performance characteristics
• Compact key and ciphertext sizes
• Proven security against quantum attacks

Implementation

Enable Kyber1024 protection:

// Method 1: Default initialization (Kyber1024)
var storage = new StorageManager("<token>", "<phrase>");

// Method 2: Explicit initialization
var storage = new StorageManager(
    "<token>",
    "<phrase>",
    quantumAlgorithm: QuantumAlgorithmType.Kyber1024
);

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

Security Parameters

Kyber1024 specifications:

• Public key size: 1,568 bytes
• Private key size: 3,168 bytes
• Ciphertext size: 1,568 bytes
• Security level: 256 bits (post-quantum)

Performance Profile

Performance characteristics:

// Optimal usage pattern
var storage = new StorageManager(
    quantumAlgorithm: QuantumAlgorithmType.Kyber1024
);

// Batch operations for better performance
var secureStorage = storage
    .In("secure")
    .EncryptWithQuantum();

await secureStorage.Set("file1.dat", data1);
await secureStorage.Set("file2.dat", data2);

Use Cases

Ideal for:

• Financial data
• Healthcare records
• Intellectual property
• Long-term data storage
• Critical infrastructure

Best Practices

1. Data Classification

   • Use for highly sensitive data
   • Consider Kyber768 for medium-sensitivity data
   • Reserve for data requiring long-term security

2. Implementation

   // Combine with standard encryption
   await storage
       .Encrypt()           // Standard AES
       .EncryptWithQuantum() // Kyber1024
       .Set("ultra-secure.dat", criticalData);
   

3. Performance Optimization

   • Cache frequently accessed data
   • Use batch operations when possible
   • Consider file size in encryption strategy
