Challenges in Cryptographic Protocols
Despite their importance, cryptographic protocols face several challenges:
- Complex Implementation: Errors in implementing cryptographic protocols can introduce vulnerabilities, such as Heartbleed in OpenSSL.
- Compatibility Issues: Ensuring interoperability across diverse systems and platforms can be difficult.
- Key Management: Secure generation, distribution, storage, and rotation of cryptographic keys remain challenging.
- Evolving Threats: Cryptographic protocols must adapt to emerging threats, including quantum computing, which could render traditional encryption methods obsolete.
