GTECH Streamlines PQCNIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Showcase

Introduction

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a vanguard in cutting-edge research, is at the forefront of the battle against quantum threats, and their PQCNIST initiative stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to securing the future. Behind the scenes, ensuring seamless communication and collaboration for this crucial mission, stands GTECH – architects of digital bridges.

Disseminating TII’s groundbreaking research on post-quantum cryptography (PQC) demanded a website that could:

• Centralize PQC submissions: Showcase TII’s involvement in the NIST standardization process for additional digital signature schemes (DSS), offering a comprehensive and accessible overview of their proposed suite.
• Explain complex concepts: Demystify PQC principles and the intricacies of the proposed DSS for a diverse audience, ranging from technical experts to industry stakeholders and the general public.
• Ensure rapid information updates: Enable TII to swiftly update the website with new developments, maintaining transparency and agility throughout the standardization process.
• Simplify content management: Offer a user-friendly and efficient process for TII to manage website content across multiple domains, minimizing technical burdens and maximizing focus on research.

Solution

GTECH, masters of digital infrastructure, delivered a solution exceeding expectations:

• Informative and content-rich website: The PQCNIST website served as a comprehensive resource, housing detailed descriptions of the proposed DSS, technical specifications, research papers, and presentations, catering to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Interactive and engaging content: Explanatory infographics and interactive elements demystified complex PQC concepts, making the website accessible and engaging for a broad range of visitors.
• Streamlined content management with Bitbucket Pipelines and CloudFront: GTECH implemented an innovative system utilizing Bitbucket Pipelines and CloudFront, allowing TII to update website content across all five associated domains with just a code push, eliminating the need for complex deployments and ensuring rapid updates.

Results
