Application Spesific Microprocessor Design for Post-Quantum Cryptography Algorithms

  • With the development of quantum computers, many existing cryptographic techniques may become insecure or unusable.
  • Developing systems that remain secure against quantum computers is therefore becoming a critical research area.
  • Application-specific processor design techniques will be investigated and compared. In addition, new techniques will be developed to implement customized microprocessor architectures for emerging problems such as post-quantum cryptography algorithms.
