Recent Projects:
QuErK: Quantum Error Correction Kernel
This project accelerates Quantum Error Correction (QEC) on FPGAs, enabling real-time correction in noisy quantum systems. Using the Sparse Blossom Algorithm (SBA), our FPGA implementation achieves a 2.75× speedup and 9.59× energy efficiency improvement. This work provides a foundational design for integrating QEC on resource-limited quantum devices, essential for advancing quantum computing performance.
Accelerating Homomorphic Encryption through FPGAs
This project integrates homomorphic encryption into a distributed system using FPGA technology. An embedded FPGA encrypts and decrypts data at the edge, while a data center accelerator card performs secure computations on the encrypted data using the CKKS scheme. This approach allows complex operations on encrypted data, ensuring privacy and scalability across the system.
DPA resistant SHA-3 Function on Cortex-M4
This project focuses on developing a C algorithm to compute the SHA-3 hash function, optimized for resistance against differential power analysis attacks on Cortex-M4 microcontrollers. Additionally, it involves applying techniques such as masking and efficient coding practices to reduce power consumption, thereby enhancing the algorithm’s resistance to side-channel attacks.
