PhD Candidate Aikata was selected for a netidee “Call 20” stipend for her research, titled “Hardware Design for Post-Quantum Cryptography and Homomorphic Encryption.”
The advisory board of netidee funding, Austria’s major internet funding program, has selected 18 projects and 10 scholarship recipients from 138 applications, who will receive a total of around 1 million euros. For 20 years now, the netidee funding program has been supporting the further development of the internet in Austria.
Hardware Design for Post-Quantum Cryptography and Homomorphic Encryption:
This research presents an efficient hardware design methodology for post-quantum secure and privacy-preserving computing. It introduces a unified cryptographic processor that integrates CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium, achieving reduced power consumption and area requirements. The work further proposes advanced countermeasures against side-channel attacks. Additionally, a chiplet-based architecture for Fully Homomorphic Encryption enables scalable, high-performance encrypted computation, laying the foundation for practical post-quantum security and comprehensive data privacy.
