Security of Implementations of Post-Quantum Cryptography Algorithms

This funding call under the Horizon Europe Work Programme 2025 addresses the security of implementations of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms. The objective is to ensure that implementations of PQC algorithms are resistant to side-channel and fault attacks, which pose significant threats to digital information and communication security. Projects should focus on developing countermeasures optimized for a balance between security, performance, and cost. Recommendations for implementing resilience against various attacks, including AI-enhanced attacks, and the analysis of new or combined attack methods are encouraged. The scope emphasizes solutions applicable to real-world conditions, including IoT, cloud-based applications, and automotive sectors, where countermeasures must be effective yet resource-efficient. Key activities include the evaluation of PQC algorithm resilience, development of new countermeasures, and advancing understanding of attack surfaces. Eligible participants are limited to entities in EU Member States and Associated Countries, ensuring strategic autonomy and security.
