Post-Quantum Cryptography Acceleration for Edge Computing 

As quantum computing continues to evolve, existing public-key cryptographic schemes are becoming increasingly vulnerable. To address this, the SMARTY Project is advancing hardware acceleration for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) within edge computing environments.  Led by BSC, the effort focuses on integrating PQC capabilities into the SELENE SoC, a RISC-V-based platform, using High-Level Synthesis (HLS) to accelerate the development of hardware modules that implement two NIST standardization candidates:  Design Highlights  System Integration
