I lead the Applied Cryptography Research Lab in Trinity. Our research group works with a number of ledgers such as Hyperledger Besu, Ripple’s XRP Ledger (XRPL), Substrate, Zcash etc. I have a number of projects on offer as outlined below. You will need to become familiar with some advanced cryptographic primitives and networking techniques during the course of the project. You will also need to quickly get up to speed on the specific ledger codebase that you will develop your architecture on and program your prototype.
- Forkless and Quantum-Safe Protocol for Post-Quantum Account Key Migration in Substrate-Based Blockchains
