Horizon Europe: Security of implementations of Post-Quantum Cryptography Algorithms
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is essential for the long-term resilience of digital security. However, implementations of these algorithms remain vulnerable to attacks using special techniques, such as side-attacks or fault-injection attacks. This Horizon Europe subsidy supports research on the security of PQC implementations and developing countermeasures against advanced threats, including AI-driven attacks.
