The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of South Florida (USF) to conduct research on the development of new cryptographic primitives for post-quantum cryptography. The project aims to construct novel cryptographic schemes based on rank metric codes derived from Drinfeld modules, as well as explore new variants of the Hamming metric for code-based cryptography. This research...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of Illinois. The project plans to enable a network instrument to measure the adoption rate of quantum-resistant encryption methods, also known as post-quantum cryptography (PQC), at universities and research centers. This instrument will track the speed of PQC adoption, measure any performance impacts, and identify potential...

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...
