Summary: Supports research and innovation in secure post-quantum cryptography implementations, quantum cryptanalysis, and digital trust solutions for robust, privacy-preserving security in the post-quantum era.
Description
This grant, under the Horizon Europe framework, funds research and innovation actions focused on developing practical, robust implementations of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) that can resist advanced implementation attacks, including those powered by AI and side-channel techniques. The call also supports the creation of automated tools for PQC security evaluation, advances in quantum algorithm analysis, and new security validation methodologies. Projects may address the design of quantum-resistant schemes and protocols for privacy-friendly applications such as secure electronic identities and advanced digital trust systems. The initiative aims to balance security, performance, and cost, while advancing formal verification and the development of real-world, post-quantum cryptographic solutions.
