Contexte

Dans un contexte où l’informatique quantique représente un défi majeur pour les systèmes de sécurité actuels, la cryptographie post-quantique (PQC) constitue une priorité stratégique pour NXP. En tant que co-auteur du standard NIST ML-KEM (CRYSTALS-Kyber), NXP contribue activement au développement des technologies de sécurité de demain.

Au sein de l’équipe basée à Saclay, vous participerez à un projet innovant visant à intégrer des algorithmes de cryptographie post-quantique sur des microcontrôleurs embarqués de nouvelle génération.

Missions

Au cours de ce stage, vous serez amené(e) à :

Réaliser un état de l’art complet sur la cryptographie post-quantique : menace quantique, comparaison des principaux algorithmes, bibliothèques TLS embarquées et besoins du marché.
Étudier et prendre en main les solutions logicielles existantes dédiées à l’implémentation de la PQC.
Intégrer les algorithmes de cryptographie post-quantique standardisés par le NIST sur la carte de développement FRDM-MCXN947.
Réaliser le portage technique des solutions en vous appuyant notamment sur la bibliothèque open source liboqs.
Évaluer les performances obtenues à travers un benchmarking comparatif entre les implémentations logicielles et les accélérations matérielles SHA-3.
Selon l’avancement du projet, contribuer à l’exploration de nouvelles plateformes intégrant des accélérateurs matériels dédiés à la cryptographie post-quantique.

Context

As quantum computing emerges as a major challenge for current security systems, Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) has become a strategic priority for NXP. As a co-author of the NIST ML-KEM (CRYSTALS-Kyber) standard, NXP actively contributes to the development of next-generation security technologies.

Within the Saclay-based team, you will contribute to an innovative project focused on integrating post-quantum cryptographic algorithms into next-generation embedded microcontrollers.

Responsibilities

During this internship, you will be responsible for:

Conducting a comprehensive state-of-the-art study on post-quantum cryptography, including the quantum threat, comparison of leading algorithms, embedded TLS libraries, and market requirements.
Evaluating and gaining hands-on experience with existing software solutions dedicated to PQC implementation.
Integrating NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptographic algorithms on the FRDM-MCXN947 development board.
Performing the technical porting of these solutions, notably using the open-source liboqs library.
Assessing system performance through comparative benchmarking of software implementations versus SHA-3 hardware acceleration.
Depending on project progress, contributing to the evaluation of new platforms featuring dedicated hardware accelerators for post-quantum cryptography.

Profile

Currently pursuing a Master's degree (Master 2) or final year of an Engineering degree program.
Specialization in Embedded Systems, Cryptography, Electronics, or a related field.
Solid knowledge of embedded programming and microcontroller architectures.
Strong interest in cybersecurity, cryptography, and innovative technologies.
Analytical mindset, autonomy, and ability to conduct research and development activities.
Good written and verbal communication skills in English.
