SOCIETY FOR ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS AND SECURITY [SETS]

CIT Campus, MGR Knowledge City, Taramani,


Chennai – 600 113, India.

Adv No : SETS/Chn/Rec/Proj/2020/03 Date : 29th January 2020

Society for Electronic Transactions and Security [SETS] is a non-profit society dedicated to research
and development in the field of Information Security under the initiative of the Office of the Principal
Scientific Advisor (PSA) to Government of India.

SETS invites applications from citizens of India for filling up the position of Research Associate for a
sponsored project from the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government to India to
SETS for two years.

Short description of the project: Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) ensures secure communication
between two parties using Cryptographic protocol and Quantum mechanisms. In this project, main goal
is to develop new and efficient modules for data acquisition and post processing required for fibre-based
and free-space QKD systems. In particular, the deliverable will be a QKD post processing engine
running on FPGAs. The post processing engine will feature modules for sifting, error parameter
estimation, synchronization, authentication, privacy amplification, error correction and verification.
