Rahul Magesh

I am building efficient implementations of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Algorithms at the Hardware (RTL) Level.

Steve Qui

I aim to identify the side channel vulnerabilities on post quantum algorithms and provide mitigation on these vulnerabilities.

Harshvadan Mihir

I am currently working on testing various Fault Injection attacks on edge/IoT devices running AI/ML workloads and exploring defense strategies to mitigate them.
