  Post-Quantum Cryptography Secure Authentication Hardware Security Quantum Communication Zero-Trust Architecture

• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  Our Expertise: We specialize in developing novel, architecture-based post-quantum cybersecurity solutions that are encryption agnostic and are backed by our patented proprietary cybersecurity architecture based on Zero Vulnerability Computing (ZVC). Our expertise covers the design of quantum-resilient authentication protocols, hardware-software co-design for security (specifically with Zero-Value-Clearance and Three-States-of-Control architectures), and building zero-trust frameworks for critical digital infrastructure. We are looking for partners with expertise in one or more of the following areas: Hardware Implementation: Specialists in FPGA/ASIC design and prototyping to help develop and test the physical implementation of our 3SoC hardware architecture. Network Integration: Experts in telecommunications, particularly 6G and IoT network protocols, to integrate and validate QRUECA in real-world or simulated network environments. Formal Verification & Cryptanalysis: Academics or researchers with a strong background in formal methods to mathematically prove the security properties of our protocol and conduct rigorous cryptanalysis against both classical and quantum attack vectors. End-User Application Development: Industry partners in sectors like finance, blockchain, or critical infrastructure who can help develop a proof-of-concept application and demonstrate the market value of our solution.

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  Our project aims to develop and validate QRUECA (Quantum-Resilient User-Evasive Cryptographic Authentication), a next-generation security protocol designed to protect digital infrastructure from the imminent threat of quantum computers. Unlike conventional Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), which focuses on new mathematical algorithms, our solution is a fundamental architectural innovation. It uses a hardware-enforced Zero-Value-Clearance (ZVC) protocol that ensures sensitive credentials are never exposed during authentication, making them immune to interception by quantum or classical adversaries. The project goals are: To finalize the QRUECA protocol specification. To develop a hardware prototype of the required security architecture. To integrate and demonstrate the solution in a relevant application area, such as 6G communications or Web 3.0. We seek to build a consortium to create a practical, future-proof security standard independent of the evolving and uncertain PQC algorithms.
