#  Introduction

The PQCRYPTO project’s main target is to study cryptosystems to establish
their security (or insecurity) against attacks including attacks using a
quantum computer. Good candidate systems are implemented and analyzed for
their vulnerability against physical attacks, including software side-channel
attacks, and for their efficiency in terms of performance and size.

PQCRYPTO produces data in the form of scientific papers, software, and
benchmarking results.

#  Software and benchmarking

Important deliverables of the PQCRYPTO project are software libraries,
implementing the systems identified as good candidates. These implementation
will be made available for general use and included in the benchmarking
platform  eBACS.  Timing and other measurement results will be made available
in full detail; any interested party can reproduce the results of timing and
other measurements.

eBACS does not cover the smallest devices considered in WP1. For those the
code will be made available and effort will made to handle benchmarking in the
most transparent way. Maybe the somewhat dormant XBX benchmarking can be
revived and extended to post-quantum cryptography, PQCRYPTO is investigating
different avenues.

#  Scientific papers

Published papers and preprints are made available via the project website
https://pqcrypto. eu.org/papers.html,  according to the Open Access
Requirements. This provides the pdf files; source files will not be provided.
For data related to experiments see the previous section.
