QuantSecure: 3rd place in the 4th edition of IN3+ Award

QuantSecure — Authentication with non-clonable quantum photonic identifiers was one of the three awarded (3rd place) ideas in the 4th edition of the IN3+ Award, the biggest award for supporting and promoting research and innovation in Portugal.

Authentication with non-clonable quantum photonic identifiers aims to solve the problem of limited security existing in the procedures used to authenticate devices, objects, or users, combining high-performance security elements, such as non-clonable physical functions – PUFs, with solutions innovative solutions based on the quantum properties of light.

The authors of the idea are Paulo André (IT-IST), Rute Ferreira (University of Aveiro), Emmanuel Zambrini Cruzeiro (IT-IST) and Paulo Mateus (Department of Mathematics and IT-IST).
