Researchers harden novel cryptography library from side-channel attacks

Cryptographers have long recognized that quantum computers could break existing cryptographic systems to secure data, financial systems, and the Internet. This has invigorated a wide-ranging effort to discover, analyze, and test various alternative cryptographic systems resistant to quantum computing attacks. 

Researchers at the Technology Innovation Institute’s Cryptography Research Centre in the UAE have spearheaded research into several promising post-quantum cryptographies (PQC) alternative systems, including ROLLO-I-128. This is a promising type of Rank Metric algorithm, which can be seen as part of the code-based cryptographic family of PQC.
