Partnership aims to pioneer breakthroughs in post-quantum cryptography
Abu Dhabi and the UAE are working to pioneer breakthroughs in post quantum cryptography and neuromorphic computing through an international partnership between Technology Innovation Institute’s (TII) Cryptography Research Centre (CRC), and Yale University in the United States.
The two institutions will first join forces on ‘Post-Quantum Lightweight Crypto Hardware Accelerators and Trusted Execution Environment Designs’, a project that focuses on developing quantum-resistant crypto schemes within the context of emerging quantum algorithms that can be run on a sufficiently large quantum computer.
The neuromorphic computing project, ‘Energy-based Probing for Robust and Explainable Spiking Neural Networks’, takes inspiration from the brain to create energy-efficient hardware for information processing and is capable of highly sophisticated tasks.
“At the Cryptography Research Centre, we are creating a knowledge-driven ecosystem powered by like-minded scientists and researchers all focused on designing breakthrough solutions in different areas of cryptography,” commented Dr Najwa Aaraj, Chief Researcher, Cryptography Research Centre.
Technology Innovation Institute, the ‘applied research’ pillar of Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), is a pioneering global research and development centre that focuses on applied research and new-age technology capabilities.
The institute has seven initial dedicated research centres in quantum, autonomous robotics, cryptography, advanced materials, digital security, directed energy and secure systems.
