Description

The ObfusQation project aims at a mathematical understanding the notion of code obfuscation, and cryptography at large, in the context of quantum computing. The project studies both code obfuscation that is secure against quantum attacks and obfuscation of quantum computation itself. Through the obfuscation lens, the project aims at gaining a better understanding of what cryptographic primitives are possible to achieve, when bringing quantum information into the picture.The candidate will contribute to the study of cryptography based on lattice problems, in the context of the transition to post-quantum cryptographic primitives. The project will focus on understanding what kind of cryptographic primitives one can construct with security against quantum attackers.
