This Project Grant award for $329,663, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, supports research to develop novel hardware acceleration for the post-quantum digital signature scheme FALCON. The project, led by Villanova University, aims to (i) create fast algorithms and novel computer arithmetic techniques to reduce the complexity of FALCON's high-complexity functions, (ii) design innovative algorithm-to-architecture co-design strategies for FALCON components that are difficult to implement in hardware, and (iii) explore hardware-software co-design methodologies to efficiently accelerate FALCON on hardware platforms. This research directly addresses the need for quantum-resistant cryptographic systems identified in the U.S. National Security Memorandum and will advance the development of next-generation national security technologies. The award period runs from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028.
