Quantum-Resistant Cryptography for Cloud-Based File Sharing Systems

Quantum-Resistant Cryptography for Cloud-Based File Sharing Systems

Project Description:

The aim of this project is to design and evaluate practical quantum-resistant (aka post-quantum) cryptosystems suitable for enhancing security of and providing novel functionalities to a cloud based file sharing system. The outcomes of the project will be applied in novel secure file system products of Senetas.
