About the Project

The project aims to design, analyze, and implement cryptographic protocols that enable secure group communication over distributed, hybrid networks by combining post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum cryptography (including quantum key distribution, QKD). It addresses the critical issue of key management in such mixed classical-quantum settings, fostering cooperation between the PQC and QKD research communities.
