Research at CryptoLabTN: Post-Quantum Cryptography

Post-Quantum Cryptography is the branch of cryptography dedicated to studying systems capable of withstanding attacks from both classical and quantum computers. Currently, cryptographers are exploring several mathematical approaches that are believed to be resistant against quantum adversaries, including code-based, isogeny-based, and multivariate cryptosystems. In this mini-workshop, we present our recent research activities in this field, with a specific focus on designing and analyzing quantum-safe protocols for decentralized systems.
