Welcome

In this blog I will be diving into Post Quantum Cryptography, specifically the NTRU cryptosystem which falls under the umbrella of Lattice cryptography.

I will start with a qualitative overview of PQC, Lattice based cryptography and then move on to mathematical constructs required to understand the working of the NTRU cryptosystem.

The final objective would be to find novel ways to optimize the NTRU cryptosystem for FPGA based hardware implementations that are area efficient or high throughput.

A word of caution before we begin: Parts non-essential to the final objective will mostly be qualitative or surface level, hence I encourage you to look up keywords wherever there is a perceived lack of depth.

Here is an index for all the chapters in this series:
