Cybersecurity
The Design and Analysis of PQC Systems and PQC Migration project is addressing the urgent need for quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions in light of rapid advancements in quantum computing which necessitate a shift towards post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
The research team led by Mahabir Jhanwar (Associate Professor of Computer Science, Ashoka University)Â is focusing on three key areas- Security analysis of standardised PQC systems, PQC migration, and storage challenges associated with implementing PQC. Additionally, the team is exploring advanced cryptographic systems that extend post-quantum security to emerging cryptographic applications. This initiative is playing a critical role in shaping the future of secure digital infrastructure in a post-quantum world
