Abstract
Hamming Quasi-Cyclic (HQC) is a code-based key exchange mechanism that has recently been selected by the NIST as a new standard for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) since it offers performance, security and/or key size advantages over its past competitors.
Numerous side-channel attacks have been developed against PQC, particularly code-based cryptography. HQC is not an exception in this wave of attacks.
The purpose of my research is to study implementation to study security against physical attacks and eventually secure them against side-channel attack, especially in embedded context.
