Experience

Summer Intern, Post-Quantum Cryptography at Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur

05.2025 - 06.2025 (2m)

Internship / Kanpur, India / On-site

Implemented and benchmarked 5 NIST PQC algorithms (Kyber, Mayo, PQOV, HQC, SQIsign) on ARM-FPGA platforms using AMD Vitis.
Optimized 5,000+ lines of C/C++ cryptographic code for ARM Cortex-A9, resolving memory alignment and hardware compilation issues.
Validated correctness using NIST KAT (Known Answer Test) files with multiple test vectors per algorithm; used AMD Vitis to cross-compile and debug on FPGA boards.
