Summary

NewHope512-CPA-KEM represents an IND-CPA-secure key encapsulation mechanism specifically targeting level 1 and level 5 in the NIST call for proposals matching or exceeding the brute-force security of AES-128 and AES-256 respectively. Similarly, NewHope1024-CPA-KEM satisfies the same requirements. These implementations utilize version 1.03 of the NewHope specification to ensure robustness against potential attacks. The specification is online to prevent typos and address security vulnerabilities raised by Bernstein in Eprint 2019691. Developers can access these secure protocols for immediate use, which serve as the backbone for cryptographic systems requiring high-level resistance.
