Post-quantum cryptographic algorithms (PQC), quantum key distribution (QKD), lattice-based security, and zero trust protocols.
Understand the transition to post-quantum cryptography, examining NIST finalized standards FIPS 203 (ML-KEM), FIPS 204 (ML-DSA), FIPS 205 (SLH-DSA), and enterprise crypto-agility roadmaps.
Deep dive into physical-layer quantum cryptography: BB84 protocol physics, Heisenberg uncertainty, decoy-state single-photon sources, trusted node relays, and Micius quantum satellite links.
Demystify the mathematical foundations of lattice cryptography, Module Learning With Errors (M-LWE), Shortest Vector Problems (SVP), and FPGA/ASIC hardware acceleration for high-throughput TLS.
Architect enterprise Zero Trust systems using Mutual TLS (mTLS), SPIFFE/SPIRE cryptographic workload identity, Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), and FIPS 140-3 boundary controls.
Analyze the physics of true randomness: Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG) using photon phase noise and vacuum fluctuations versus PRNG algorithms, entropy pools, and cryptographic RNG testing.
