Quantum-Resistant Cryptography for Network Encryptors
Quantum-Resistant Cryptography for Network Encryptors
Project Description:
Senetas network encryptors are specialised hardware and software appliances used to encrypt network traffic for government, defence and commercial. The aim of this project is to develop, implement and evaluate prototypes of practical quantum-resistant (aka post-quantum) algorithms for enhancing the security of a Senetas Network encryptor application. Targeted applications include agile high throughput network encryptors, code-signing engines, or key management modules. The outcomes of the project will be applied in novel network appliance products of Senetas.
Project Requirements:
- Knowledge/experience in coding (for example, Python, C/C++, SageMath, P4) is required.
- Mathematical and cryptography background is highly recommended.
- Applicants must be domestic students (Australian citizens, permanent residents, NZ citizens, or holding an Australian visa without any limitation as to time (e.g. visa subclass 189).
