Post-Quantum Cryptography Research at STMicroelectronics

Type: Full-time

Description

This thesis focuses on studying the vulnerability of Post-Quantum Cryptographic (PQC) algorithms to Side-Channel Attacks (SCA). The research involves analyzing the susceptibility of various PQC algorithms, developing and implementing SCA techniques, and proposing countermeasures to enhance their security. The project aims to contribute significantly to the field of cryptography by providing insights into the robustness of PQC algorithms against side-channel threats.
