Description

(SI) Cilj predlaganega projekta je nasloviti bistveno in sodobno raziskovalno področje post-kvantne kriptografije. Raziskovalne skupine po celem svetu pričenjajo s proučevanjem varnosti obstoječih shem v svetu kvantnih računalnikov, ki so sposobni reševanja zelo težkih problemov (na katerih sloni velik del sedanjih kriptografskih shem) v polinomskem času. Eden bolje poznanih algoritmov s tega področja je Simonov algoritem (ali pa Groverjev algoritem), ki predstavlja učinkovito orodje za iskanje tako imenovanih period kriptografskih primitivov. Ta pristop je vezan na določene lastnosti (vektorskih) Boolovih funkcij, kar nam nudi izjemno priložnost za uspešno raziskovanje. Vodja projekta je namreč priznan kot eden izmed vodilnih svetovnih raziskovalcev na področju kriptografskih Boolovih funkcij, kar nam daje močno podlago za dobro motivirano in raziskovalno odlično proučevanje razvoja varnih post-kvantnih primitivov in napredno analizo že obstoječih primitivov.
(EN) The proposed project aims at addressing an essential and contemporary research field of post-quantum cryptography. In connection to the development of quantum computers, which are capable of solving certain hard problems (on which a great part of today's cryptographic schemes relies on) in polynomial time, research teams all over the world have started to investigate the security of the existing schemes in the realm of quantum cryptanalysis. In particular, a technique known as Simon's algorithm (or Grover's algorithm) is considered an efficient tool for finding so-called periods of cryptographic primitives. This approach is related to certain properties of (vectorial) Boolean functions which essentially gives a perfect opportunity for conducting a successful research on this topic. Namely, the project leader is considered to be one of the leading experts in theory of cryptographic Boolean functions, which makes a very sound basis for motivated and highly relevant scientific efforts towards development of secure post-quantum primitives and advanced analysis of the existing ones.
