Create Hybrid Certificates through Bouncy Castle Kotlin

Create hybrid certificates with Bouncy Castle Kotlin API. The Bouncy Castle Crypto package for Kotlin is a set of Kotlin classes designed to go on top of the Bouncy Castle Crypto Java APIs.

Hybrid certificates with Bouncy Castle Kotlin API

Hybrid certificates combine both classical and post-quantum algorithms, providing a transitional solution during the migration process. 

While hybrid certificates can offer compatibility with existing systems and provide some level of security against quantum attacks, they may also introduce additional complexities and potential vulnerabilities. As always it is our recommendation to consider the overall system architecture and carefully assess whether the benefits outweigh the risks.

How to get started

Create a post-quantum hybrid certificate using the Bouncy Castle Kotlin project.

Here are the steps:

  • Start by generating your post-quantum cryptography keys
  • Create a post-quantum cryptography hybrid certificate

Prerequisites

Please note this example does not include EJBCA. You can use it as a starting point and try out quantum-safe hybrid certificates.  

  • The Bouncy Castle Crypto package for Kotlin can be run with either the general BC APIs or the BC-FJA FIPS version.
