Abstract

Post-quantum cryptosystems involve basically the families of algorithms based on lattices, error correcting codes, multivariate quadratic systems (MQ), and schemes based on symmetric cryptography primitives in general, as well as on hash functions. The project in which the post-doc candidate will be inserted aims to specify, develop and analyze secure and hardware-friendly post-quantum cryptographic schemes based on error correcting codes, aiming to provide a variety of security services, specially encryption. The focus will be on performance improvements, possibly in terms of processing time and energy requirements, but especially in terms of key and ciphertext sizes. (AU)
