The rapid development of powerful quantum computers poses unprecedented challenges for digital security. Many of the cryptographic methods used today could be compromised by the computing power of quantum computers in th…
e near future. Although post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms are already being intensively investigated, physical implementations of cryptosystems still harbor the risk of so-called side-channel attacks. These attacks aim to analyze information such as power consumption, time measurements or e
lectromagnetic emissions in order to reconstruct secret keys. To counter these threats, the research program „Side-channel resistant post-quantum cryptology“ (SCA4PQC) was initiated by the Cyberagentur. “The Goal of this ambitious program i
