ABOUT
The QUBIP project
The development of Quantum Computers is opening up exciting new frontiers, but it comes at the cost of breaking the foundations of current digital security. While the cryptography research community is working to the definition of Post-Quantum algorithms to counter this threat, the QUBIP project contributes to the transition to PQC of protocols, networks and systems streamlining the process and creating a replicable model.

Three practical transition exercises
QUBIP defines a reference and replicable transition process by maximizing the Return-of-Experience from three practical transition exercises involving tailored adoption of PQC in HW (for constrained IoT), in Cryptographic Libraries (OpenSSL and NSS), in Operating System (Fedora), in Communication Protocols (TLS and IPSec) and in Applications (Firefox Browser and Digital Identity). The three final use cases are Quantum-secure IoT-based Digital Manufacturing, Quantum-secure Internet Browsing, and Quantum-secure Software Networks Environments for Telco Operators.
QUBIP in Numbers

KERs
The methodological steps underpinning the project activities will allow the consortium to produce ten open-source Key Exploitable Results. Nine hardware and software reusable PQC building blocks and one replicable transition process in the form of playbook

Goal
To counter Quantum threats well in advance
MEET THE PARTNERS
We are a multi-disciplinary team of experts united by a single goal, to design a reference and replicable transition process to Post-Quantum Cryptography of protocols, networks and systems
RESOURCES
QUBIP believes in the open science principles.
QUBIP structure and concept reflect several open science principles, building upon them to deliver results. QUBIP makes the results of the R&D activities accessible to everyone as early and widely as possible in the process. You can access and download all deliverables and scientific publications as well as the communication material here.

Composite Signatures Draft Moves Toward Publication!
The draft-ietf-lamps-pq-composite-sigs, after 12 drafts and much discussion, has successfully completed its Working Group Last Call (WGLC) and is now in the queue for publication — the final step before becoming an RFC.

Integrating PQC in MPU-Based Device with HW SE and OpenSSL
In this blogpost we present the implementation of a Post-Quantum (PQ)-enabled secure IoT device based on an Micro-Processor Unit (MPU) platform leveraging on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) software and quantum-aware Hardware (HW) Secure Element (SE).
