Horizon Europe: Security evaluations of Post-Quantum Crypthography primitives
The rise of quantum computers threatens the foundations of current cryptographic security. Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) offers solutions but requires in-depth research into these new cryptosystems' robustness and potential vulnerabilities. This Horizon Europe subsidy supports research into the security of PQC primitives and the impact of quantum- and AI-based attacks.
