Resilient and quantum-safe threshold cryptography

Project overview

Project title

Project 1: Resilient & Practical Quantum-Safe Threshold Cryptography

Project description

This Project will design quantum-safe threshold encryption and/or authentication algorithms. The expected outcome is the design of methods, techniques and their software prototype to implement quantum-safe threshold encryption and/or authentication algorithms. The potential benefit is to enhance the security of Australian critical infrastructures, safeguarding them against quantum attacks.
