Horizon 2025 Call for Partners

Topic of the project

Our project focuses on post-quantum migration using protocol-level combiners.

We focus on three major project components:

Hybridization of existing applications and protocols using Rosenpass key exchange.
Adding capabilites such as single-sided authentication, using a password-authenticated key exchange, and 0-RTT using advanced cryptography.
Building an engineering-focused infrastructure for formal verification of cryptographic protocols using the Domino protocol verifier by Chris Brzuska.

Panels:

Fundamental Research Panel
Ethics and Social Impact Panel
Translation and Business Impact Panel

Call for integration partners (open source and industry) and panelists

We invite major partners to join our team, who are seeking hybridization of their applications, protocols, standards, or products using a protocol-level combiner approach through integration with the Rosenpass protocol.

We are also looking for minor partners interested in joining our accompanying panels. These panels will come together once or twice per year to act in an advisory capacity.

We’d be happy to find potential partners preferably (but not exclusively) from Southern and Eastern Europe with a particular interest in

open-source and/or open-science
positive, human-centered social impact
serving marginalized peoples and communities

Conceptual Approach

Vertical integration

Bringing together all relevant stakeholders (protocol designers, pen-and-paper cryptographic analysts, cryptography engineers, technological integrators/product builders, users) into one comprehensive action team

Fearless Cryptography

Building engineering-focused proof assistants for cryptographic protocols to enable agile, continuous development of cryptographic protocols

Protocol-level combiners

Post-quantum hybridization on the protocol level to provide highly reusable protocol components. Allowing third-party vendors to hybridize using their own key-exchange implementations for improved crypto agility
