SIKE – Supersingular Isogeny Key Encapsulation

SIKE is an isogeny-based key encapsulation suite based on pseudo-random walks in supersingular isogeny graphs, that was submitted to the NIST standardization process on post-quantum cryptography. It contains two algorithms:

A CPA-secure public key encryption algorithm SIKE.PKE, and
A CCA-secure key encapsulation mechanism SIKE.KEM,

each instantiated with four parameter sets: SIKEp434, SIKEp503, SIKEp610 and SIKEp751.

Submission status

SIKE and SIDH are insecure and should not be used. For more information, please refer to our statement to NIST.
