CurveForge
Add optimized post-quantum arithmetic to cryptographic toolkit
CurveForge focuses on developing efficient and secure implementations of elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) using automatic optimization techniques. The project aims to deliver high-performance, portable, and maintainable ECC solutions that can be widely adopted. By leveraging automatic optimization, CurveForge avoids the need for curve-specific implementations, making advanced cryptographic techniques more accessible and practical for real-world applications. Future efforts will also target post-quantum primitives. Work within this grant focuses on those post-quantum primitives, towards a demonstrator in form of a rustls crypto provider, improve the performance, as well as improving the test coverage with wycheproof.
