On 5 March 2026, the SCI-Lab was awarded a Mitacs Accelerate project entitled “Secure and Efficient ML-KEM Implementation on ARM Cortex-M7”
Principal Investigator: Dr. Mostafa Taha, Carleton University. Partner organization: Quantegra Technologies Inc. Intern: Dr. Mahmoud Sayed
This project aims to make future internet-connected devices secure against quantum computer attacks by developing faster and safer cryptographic software for small embedded systems. We will optimize a newly standardized post-quantum algorithm so that it runs efficiently on widely used ARM Cortex-M7 processors without sacrificing security. The results will help protect critical infrastructure, healthcare systems, and smart devices from emerging cyber threats, supporting Canada’s leadership in cybersecurity innovation.
✨ We are proud of the team’s continued efforts in pushing the boundaries of secure and efficient cryptographic systems.
