Collaborative research: secure and efficient post-quantum cryptography: from coding theory to hardware architecture

The University of Arizona was awarded a $245,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SECURE AND EFFICIENT POST-QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY: FROM CODING THEORY TO HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE." The three-year grant, awarded May 15, 2021 under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA #47.041), will fund the development of post-quantum cryptography techniques with a focus on secure and efficient implementations from coding theory to hardware architecture. The NSF Engineering program supports innovation and excellence in engineering research and education to improve the Nation's quality of life and economic strength. The University of Arizona will leverage the funding to advance its cryptography research with the aim of developing technologies resilient against future quantum computing attacks.
