The field of cryptography and steganography is moving towards the development of quantum-resistant algorithms and techniques to secure digital infrastructures against evolving threats. Researchers are exploring innovative approaches, such as leveraging the dynamic folding properties of non-coding RNA to generate high-entropy keys and employing diffusion models for generative text steganography. Additionally, there is a growing interest in developing provably secure public-key steganography methods based on elliptic curves and admissible encoding. Noteworthy papers include: Crypto-ncRNA, which proposes a bio-convergent cryptographic framework that achieves a 100% pass rate on the NIST SP 800-22 randomness tests. GTSD, which improves generative speed, robustness, and imperceptibility of generative text steganography methods based on diffusion models.
