Constructing Quantum-Safe Leakage-Resilient Public-Key Encryption Schemes

---

Introduction:

Large-scale quantum computers can efficiently solve the hard mathematical problems on which the security of the Internet is based. Thus, quantum-secure cryptosystems are desirable for future secure communication. This project aims to build a quantum-secure public-key encryption system. The prominent feature of the encryption system is that it is secure even in the presence of partial key leakage, possibly due to side-channel attacks or poor key management. The project looks at the recent advances in quantum-secure hash proof systems, a cryptographic object useful in designing key leakage-resilient cryptosystems, and creates the public-key cryptosystem based upon them.
