This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program project grant, awarded to Marymount University, aims to perform a rigorous evaluation of post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) algorithms and design countermeasures against side-channel attacks and environmentally induced faults. The $174,987 award, effective April 15, 2024 through March 31, 2026, will support software simulations to verify mathematical derivations and integrate the developed countermeasures into hardware architectures such as FPGAs or ASICs. This research project seeks to advance the field of PQC by addressing vulnerabilities in the new algorithms recently selected by NIST for standardization, with a focus on compatibility with constrained embedded systems used in military, government, and commercial applications. The project results will be incorporated into graduate-level coursework to support workforce development in this critical area of national technological priority.
