Breaking Ground in Post-Quantum Cryptography Real World Implementation Security Research
January 16, 2025 -- Dr. Reza Azarderakhsh from Florida Atlantic University (FAU) and his graduate students at the Cryptographic Engineering Lab, in collaboration with researchers from PQSecure, have successfully demonstrated a groundbreaking Correlation Power Analysis (CPA) side-channel attack on an industry-grade hardware implementation of the ML-DSA digital signature algorithm within the Caliptra Silicon Root of Trust framework. This marks a significant milestone in exposing vulnerabilities in advanced post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) systems.
The research, published on the Cryptology ePrint Archive (2025/009), represents the first documented side-channel attack on a PQC root of trust implementation designed by a coalition of leading tech giants, including Google, AMD, and Microsoft. The attack targeted the modular reduction process of the ML-DSA algorithm, exploiting side-channel leakage in Adam’s Bridge—an advanced component in the post-quantum cryptographic design.
This achievement not only highlights the vulnerabilities in even the most advanced PQC hardware systems but also underscores the critical importance of robust side-channel protections in post-quantum security frameworks.
As a leader in post-quantum cryptographic engineering, PQSecure continues to push the boundaries of research, working closely with academic and industrial partners to ensure the security of next-generation cryptographic solutions. This work reinforces PQSecure’s commitment to advancing the field of cryptographic security and protecting critical infrastructures in the quantum computing era.
