Masking schemes are key in thwarting side-channel attacks due to their robust theoretical foundation. Transitioning from Boolean to arithmetic (B2A) masking is a necessary step in various cryptography schemes, including hash functions, ARX-based ciphers, and lattice-based cryptography.

This work presents a novel architecture of a high-performance NTT accelerator capable of performing both NTT and inverse NTT operations using a single set of hardware resources.

The release of the new NIST standards is a great achievement but as Ali and Ben discuss in this recent video, algorithms are really only recipes – the key is how you use them.

In this video, Ben and Ali celebrate the publication of the first NIST PQC Standards. It’s a terrific achievement and a success for the whole collaborative PQC community.

In this video, Ali and Ben talk about the way we each think about our business, and how that impacts decisions we make when it comes to protecting it – how can we deploy solutions that are able to change? What level of risk is acceptable?

In this clip, Ben and Ali reflect on the origins of PQShield as part of the wider cryptographic community and explain how great it is to be part of a community of unquestionably brilliant but genuinely down-to-earth cryptographers.

In this video, Ben and Ali discuss compliance, particularly as industry builds around the certifications for PQC.

In this video, Ali and Ben discuss some of the wider pieces of cryptography, many of which are not vulnerable to the quantum threat, but form essential components nevertheless, in the ‘post-quantum’ era.

In this clip, Ben and Ali discuss the terminology of ‘post-quantum’. Is it still relevant? Is it misleading?

In this clip, Ben and Ali talk about PQShield’s silicon implementation of PQC – showing that we haven’t just designed PQC solutions, we’ve actually built our hardware IP onto a physical chip!

In this video, Ben and Ali discuss NIST’s timeline, including FALCON, Round 4 KEMs, the necessary mix of lattice, code-based and hash algorithms, as well as the ongoing effort to select digital signatures.

This work explores several architectural optimizations and proposes a high-performance and area-time (AT) product efficient hardware accelerator for Kyber.
