CryptoLab
Welcome to the NTRU CryptoLabs where you'll find important information about NTRU's core technology: the NTRUEncrypt and NTRUSign algorithms and the underlying NTRU lattice.
NTRUEncrypt is an IEEE 1363.1
Standard and the first major innovation in PKCS in 20 years.
It delivers substantial performance advantages over its nearest
competitors - running 5x to 200x faster while consuming minimal
resources. With its breakthrough performance and size advantages,
Security Innovation's
encryption products are practical for both consumer scale
applications as well as constrained devices. Benefits include:
Smallest Footprint
-
Smallest public key crypto available on market (8 kb)
-
Ideal for embedded devices where code size is a major limitation
-
Industrial sensors, RFID, medical devices
-
Highest Performing
-
Highest performance crypto on the market
-
5x to 200x times faster than competition
-
Consumes minimal resources including CPU and battery
-
run time memory utilization below 4.5K
-
-
60% data throughput improvement (over RSA) when integrated with SSL
-
Significantly reduces server resource utilization for large-scale deployments
-
Ideal for
-
low power or hard to access environments (battery powered, electric grid, remote sensors)
-
high-volume transaction environments (payment processors, virtualization/cloud computing, etc.)
-
Most Secure
-
Resistant to Quantum Computing attacks
-
The higher level of security, the higher performance gains versus competition
-
Ideal for systems where they can’t be updated easily (long-term)
-
Satellites, medical devices, long-term data protection
-
Customized for a variety of platforms and implementations
NEWS!
NTRU algorithm becomes a standard:
IEEE approves the standardization of NTRUEncrypt™.
Independent Review: Speed Records
for NTRU
Speed records for NTRU report released by Department of
Electrical Engineering, University of Leuven
Excerpt:
"Using a modern GTX280 GPU a throughput of up to 200 000 encryptions per
second can be reached at a security level of 256 bits. Comparing this to
a symmetric cipher (not a very common comparison), this is only around
20 times slower than a recent AES implementation. This is using
the speed-optimized parameter sets from a recent version of 1363.1 --
unfortunately those parameter sets have since changed but the overall
result still holds: NTRU is extremely fast on parallelizable
processors."
