Post-Quantum Cryptography in Resource-Constraint Environments

Doctoral project at a glance

Cryptography, i.e. encryption technology, is used everywhere today. In online banking as well as when opening the car by remote control. However, a new type of computer, the quantum computer, threatens the current generation of encryption systems. In order to remain on the safe side, new cryptographic procedures must be conceived, developed and tested. This branch of research is called Post-Quantum Cryptography. PhD student Ruben Gonzalez is researching how post-quantum cryptography can work on the smallest devices, the constraint embedded devices (e.g. fine dust sensors, credit cards). Supervision: Prof. Dr. Karl Jonas
