COSIC is looking for motivated PhD students to work on the implementation aspects of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms: Post-quantum cryptography is a new class of cryptographic algorithms, which resist attacks from quantum computers. They will mostly replace existing public key algorithms (RSA and ECC). Efficient implementations in hardware (FPGA, ASIC) are an essential aspect for their acceptance as replacement. On top, the implementations also need to resist physical attacks, e.g. side-channel and fault attacks. This research position will focus on the efficient and attack resistant implementations of novel post-quantum cryptographic algorithms.
