Researching Hybrid Protocols for Post-Quantum Cryptography

As quantum computing rapidly advances, traditional cryptographic methods that secure our online communications and data face obsolescence. This project explores the development and implementation of post-quantum cryptography algorithms that can withstand the computational power of quantum attacks. Our project focuses on researching and evaluating hybrid cryptographic protocols, which combine classical and post-quantum methods to ensure robust security during the transition to quantum-resistant technologies. Additionally, we are evaluating these protocols for their practicality, performance, and resilience to emerging quantum capabilities.

Through this work, we aim to contribute to the future of secure digital communication by analyzing the effectiveness and practicality of these hybrid protocols against quantum threats.

By supporting our project, you will empower us to:

• Conduct impactful research into the resilience and efficiency of hybrid cryptographic systems.
• Collaborate with leading experts in quantum computing and cryptography to develop innovative solutions.
• Present our findings at global conferences, sharing knowledge and building connections within the field.
