Project Overview

NIST continues to develop cryptographic expertise in several research areas:

• Circuit Complexity
• Elliptic Curve Cryptography
• Lightweight Cryptography
• Pairing-Based Cryptography
• Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)
• Privacy-Enhancing Cryptography
• Threshold Cryptography

We also host a Crypto Reading Club that meets biweekly to foster research and collaboration in cryptography.
