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\u2019s leadership in cybersecurity innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2728 We are proud of the team\u2019s continued efforts in pushing the boundaries of secure and efficient cryptographic systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 5 March 2026, the SCI-Lab was awarded a Mitacs Accelerate project entitled &#8220;Secure and Efficient ML-KEM Implementation on ARM Cortex-M7&#8220; Principal Investigator: Dr. Mostafa Taha, ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University.
