Hi, thanks for the answer,
So, If i understand correctly in KEM the following steps are performed by
each party:
1. Generate RSA key pair
2. Pick a random symmetric key that will be used in creating the final
key
3. Encrypt key with each other's RSA public key
4. Send the
Yes. What RSA provides is KEM - Key Encapsulation Mechanism. You would run
*two* of them - one in reach direction - and then run a KDF over concatenation
of these two encapsulated symmetric keys.
AFAIK, it's the only way. And that's what NIST is doing with their Post-Quantum
competition: they
Hi,
Is there a way to produce a shared secret key to be used for symmetric
encryption(e.g. AES) by using RSA key pairs? I know that the standard way
of doing something like that is to use the recipient's RSA public key to
encrypt the randomly generated symmetric key and then send it to the
