The development and implementation of post-quantum cryptosystems have become a pressing issue in the design of secure computing systems, as general quantum computers have become more feasible in the last two years. In this work, we introduce a set of hardware post-quantum cryptographic primitives (PCPs) consisting of four frequently used security components, i.e., public-key cryptosystem (PKC), key exchange (KEX), oblivious transfer (OT), and zero-knowledge proof (ZKP). In addition, we design a high speed polynomial multiplier to accelerate these primitives. These primitives will aid researchers and designers in constructing quantum-proof secure computing systems in the post-quantum era.

We showcase PQ-V2Verifier, the first open-source testbed for using NIST-approved post-quantum authentication algorithms in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications.With hardware in the loop for over-the-air experiments using softwaredefined radios and commercial V2V devices, we show the potential of PQ-V2Verifier for customizable experiments to evaluate V2V security protocols in safety use cases against attacks enabled by a large quantum computer, as well as novel countermeasures.
