Selected Constructive and Destructive Approaches to Post-Quantum Cryptography

Published in PhD Thesis, 2019

This doctoral dissertation investigates the construction of efficient post-quantum cryptographic primitives as well as cryptanalytic techniques to evaluate their security.

Main themes:

  • Design of secure schemes in code-based and isogeny-based cryptography
  • Implementation strategies targeting embedded and constrained devices
  • Quantum cryptanalysis: Grover-based attacks, fault injection, and side-channel models
  • Case studies: CSIDH, SNOVA, LRPC-based schemes

The thesis emphasizes the importance of a co-design approach that balances theoretical security with practical efficiency.
