India, Jan. 22 -- Shweta Agrawal from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, has become one of the 14 recipients of the Swarnajayanti Fellowship 2020. It was instituted by the Centre to commemorate the golfen jubilee of India's independence and is funded by the Department of abd Technology.
Agarwal said she would like to use the fellowship to conduct a deep study on one of the most promising approaches for post-quantum cryptography - lattice-based cryptography to improve algorithms and understand gaps between theory and practice. Lattice-based cryptography, resistant to attack by both classical and quantum computers, is the leading candidate for post quantum cryptography and design of a cryptographic system for the future.
