A team of researchers from U of T Engineering has discovered hidden multi-dimensional side channels in existing quantum communication protocols.

PQShield has designed and built the first fully functional post-quantum cryptography silicon test chip to support compliance of the new NIST PQC standards. According to the release, the test chip provides semiconductor vendors with the tools needed to implement secure PQC solutions as the industry shifts from preparation to meeting compliance requirements. This enables detailed evaluation of power usage, performance, and Side Channel Analysis (SCA) countermeasures, all in a real-world environment.
