DescriptionONE (1) research grants for students with BSc degree with reference number BI|2026/848 , project ORQESTRA - Refª 101224573, funded by European Commission - Program HORIZON EUROPE, is now available under the following conditions:
OBJECTIVES | FUNCTIONS
The European ORQESTRA project aims to enable the practical and certifiable deployment of post-quantum cryptography by delivering formally verified, efficient, and cost-effective software and shared hardware accelerators that bridge the gap between the high computational demands of PQC algorithms and real-world cryptographic systems. In support of this goal, this MSc scholarship focuses on the design and implementation of a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) on the RISC-V architecture, built on top of a CVA6 core and leveraging the COVE security framework, to provide a secure and programmable execution platform for quantum-resistant cryptographic services.
