Mission

Accelerate the adoption of quantum-safe technologies
in industry and in everyday life.

Integrates academic research, product development,
and industry networks to promote the growth of the PQC market.

Business Goal

Research, Collaboration, and International Standardization

Conduct in-depth research on emerging international standardization trends and identify opportunities for academia and industry in Taiwan. Forge partnerships with global cryptographic standardization alliances and research institutions to actively participate in and contribute to the development of post-quantum cryptography standards. Become a key driving force in the international promotion of post-quantum cryptography standards.

Establishment of a Professional Talent Pool and Community

With a focus on cryptography and related research, collaborate with domestic and international research institutions to foster the development of post-quantum cryptography talent. Facilitate the exchange of expertise, attract international talent, and cultivate an active community of researchers and industry professionals.

Creation of Research and Development Investment, Subsidy, and Commercialization Platforms

Leverage resources from industry and government to select forward-looking and marketable research projects in Taiwan and international collaborations. Provide funding support and investment opportunities for research and development, and facilitate commercialization, knowledge transfer, and market promotion. Establish integrated software and hardware development platforms, ensuring a high-quality hardware technology supply chain and collective engagement in cutting-edge cryptographic research.

Strengthening Post-Quantum Cryptography Resilience in Taiwan

Assess government agencies, critical infrastructure, and public services to prioritize the adoption of post-quantum security technologies. Implement enhanced post-quantum cryptography systems based on the confidentiality lifespan and longevity of publicly transmitted content. Establish a contingency mechanism for post-quantum cryptography.

Research and Development of Quantum-Resistant Chips

Become one of the global centers for manufacturing cryptographic applications, continuously providing more efficient, secure, stable, and low-power consumption cryptographic systems to the world.

KyberSlash:
Exploiting secret-dependent division timings in Kyber implementations

This paper presents KyberSlash1 and KyberSlash2 – two timing vulnerabilities in several implementations (including the official reference code) of the Kyber Post-Quantum Key Encapsulation Mechanism, currently undergoing standardization as ML-KEM. We demonstrate the exploitability of both KyberSlash1 and KyberSlash2 on two popular platforms: the Raspberry Pi 2 (Arm Cortex-A7) and the Arm Cortex-M4 microprocessor. Kyber secret keys are reliably recovered within minutes for KyberSlash2 and a few hours for KyberSlash1.

Nibbling MAYO:
Optimized Implementations for AVX2 and Cortex-M4

MAYO is a popular high-calorie condiment as well as an auspicious candidate in the ongoing NIST competition for additional post-quantum signature schemes achieving competitive signature and public key sizes.

Fast and Clean: Auditable high-performance assembly via constraint solving

Handwritten assembly is a widely used tool in the development of high-performance cryptography: By providing full control over instruction selection, instruction scheduling, and register allocation, highest performance can be unlocked. On the flip side, developing handwritten assembly is not only time-consuming, but the artifacts produced also tend to be difficult to review and maintain – threatening their suitability for use in practice.

pqm4: Benchmarking NIST Additional Post-Quantum Signature Schemes on Microcontrollers

In July 2022, the US National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) announced the first set of Post-Quantum Cryptography standards: Kyber, Dilithium, Falcon, and SPHINCS+. Shortly after, NIST published a call for proposals for additional post-quantum signature schemes to complement their initial portfolio. In 2023, 50 submissions were received, and 40 were accepted as round-1 candidates for future standardization.
