Overview#

This project explored securing IoT communication by integrating post-quantum cryptographic key exchange into DTLS 1.3 and testing it in a constrained RISC-V environment.

Key Work#

• Implemented DTLS 1.3 with post-quantum cryptographic key exchange
• Integrated PQC algorithms into the DTLS handshake
• Evaluated compatibility and performance on resource-constrained systems
• Deployed and tested the implementation on a RISC-V LiteX-based SoC simulation
• Focused on embedded security constraints, protocol behavior, and performance tradeoffs

Result#

This work contributed to an Inter IIT Tech Meet 14.0 project where the team ranked 5th in PQC implementation and DTLS protocol work.
