This book explores C-based design, implementation, and analysis of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms for signature generation and verification.  The authors investigate NIST round 2 PQC algorithms for signature generation and signature verification from a hardware implementation perspective, especially focusing on C-based design, power-performance-area-security (PPAS) trade-offs and design flows targeting FPGAs and ASICs.

Deepraj Soni is a Ph.D. student at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. Deepraj works on hardware implementation, evaluation and security of post quantum cryptographic algorithms. He received his M.Tech from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT B). His thesis focused on developing a framework for hardware software co simulator and neural network implementation on an FPGA. After graduation, Deepraj worked as a design engineer in the semiconductor division of Samsung and SanDisk. At Samsung, he was responsible for the design and architecture of the image processing IPs such as region segmentation and Embedded CODEC. He was also responsible for communication IPs such as FFT/IFFT, Time& Frequency Deinterleaving and Demapper for canceling the noise. At SanDisk, Deepraj helped in the development of System On Chip (SoC) level design for the memory controller.
