⚡ Quantum Brief
A cybersecurity undergraduate is seeking final-year project guidance on post-quantum cryptography (PQC), aiming to align with a professor’s blockchain expertise but questioning the depth of their current proposal.
The student’s tentative focus—PQC integration in blockchains and crypto wallets—lacks clarity on scope, with concerns about superficial coverage in performance, interoperability, and proof-of-concept testing for a thesis.
The request highlights a need for substantive, research-driven directions to elevate the project beyond generic exploration, emphasizing academic rigor and practical relevance in quantum-resistant security.
Potential gaps include technical feasibility, real-world deployment challenges, and comparative analysis of PQC algorithms—areas ripe for deeper investigation to strengthen the project’s impact.
Peer input is sought to refine the proposal into a compelling, thesis-worthy study with measurable outcomes, balancing theoretical foundations and applied cybersecurity implications.
Hi all, am currently an undergrad (cybersec related) who has to complete a final year project and I am interested in making it about post quantum cryptography. I am unsure what aspect I can explore and so far I have only came out with 1 idea: PQC in blockchains and crypto wallets (as the prof I would like to work with has some work in blockchain technology). However I am not very sure how deep I can dive into that (I will have to write a whole thesis and present my project), I am currently thinking of perhaps looking at performance, interoperability, and proof of concepts for my project, but it feels quite fluff. would greatly appreciate any project ideas/direction that anyone can give to make my project an interesting and rewarding one :) submitted by /u/CreAmY_wOod [link] [comments]
