In these days, there are a lot of research results on the Post-Quantum Cryptography according to developing of quantum computing technologies and the announcement of the NIST's Post-Quantum Cryptography standard project. The key size of the existing symmetric key block ciphers are needed to increase and the security of discrete logarithm based public key cryptography can be broken by Grover's algorithm and Shor's algorithm. By this reason, a lot of cryptologist and mathematician research on safe cryptography against the quantum computer which is called as the Post-Quantum Cryptography. In this paper, we survey on recent technical trend on the Hash-Based Signature Scheme which is one of the Post-Quantum Cryptography and suggest the prospect of the Hash-Based Signature Scheme.

미국 국립표준기술연구소에서 개최한 양자내성암호 표준화 공모전이 2022년 표준화 선정을 마치고 4라운드 추가 표준선정에 진입하였다. 공모전에 제출된 후보 알고리즘은 각자의 성능 지표를 제시하였지만, 서로 다른 환경에서 성능을 측정하였기에 객관적인 비교가 어려웠다. 이를 해결하기 위해 양자내성암호 벤치마크 플랫폼이 등장하였다. 양자내성암호 벤치마크 플랫폼은 양자내성암호 후보 알고리즘을 모두 동일한 환경에서 벤치마크하여 객관적인 결과를 제공하는데 집중하였다. 이때 각 알고리즘이 지니는 다양한 구동 의존성 때문에 알고리즘을 동일 환경에서 가동하는 데에 제한이 있다. 따라서 벤치마크 플랫폼은 알고리즘들의 의존성을 제거하고 동일한 환경을 제공하는데 집중하였으며 이를 통해 양자내성암호의 성능에 대한 접근성을 높여 사람들의 양자내성암호 연구에 큰 도움을 주었다.

A quantum light source is an essential element for quantum information technology, including quantum communication, quantum sensor, and quantum computer. Quantum light sources including photon number state, entangled state, and squeezed state can be divided into two types according to the generation mechanism, namely single emitter and non-linear based systems. The single emitter platform contains atom/ion trap, solid-state defect/color center, two-dimensional material, and semiconductor quantum dot, which can emit deterministic photons. The non-linear based platform contains spontaneous parametric down-conversion and spontaneous four-wave mixing, which can emit probabilistic photon pairs. For each platform, we give an overview of the recent research trends of the generation, manipulation, and integration of single photon and entangled photon sources. The characteristics of quantum light sources are investigated for each platform. In addition, we briefly introduce quantum sensing, quantum communication, and quantum computing applications based on quantum light sources. We discuss the challenges and prospects of quantum light sources for quantum information technology.

ICT is the main driving force of Korea's economic growth. Korea has the world's best ICT competitiveness, and several policies are being implemented to maintain it. However, for successful policy implementation, it is crucial to understand ICT trends accurately. Therefore, this study analyzes the trends of 18 core technologies in the ICT field. In particular, the degree of scientific development and commercialization by technology are investigated through research paper analysis and patent analysis, respectively. Then, the trends shown by document type are compared based on the two analysis results. As a result, artificial intelligence and virtual reality are at the stage where commercialization is actively taking place after scientific development, and at the same time, since research is being conducted, it is expected to develop continuously. On the other hand, quantum computer and implantable device are in the basic research stage. It is necessary to understand the current research status and determine the direction of future support. The results of the ICT trend analysis conducted in this study can be used as a criterion for determining the future direction of Korean policy.

Quantum computers will be a game-changer in various fields, such as cryptography and new materials. Quantum computer is quite different from the classical computer by using quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition, entanglement, and interference. The main components of a quantum computer can be divided into quantum-algorithm, quantum-classical control interface, and quantum processor. Universal quantum computing, which can be applied in various industries, is expected to have more than millions of qubits with high enough gate accuracy. Currently, It uses general-purpose electronic equipment, which is placed in a rack, at room temperature to make electronic signals that control qubits. However, implementing a universal quantum computer with a low error rate requires a lot of qubits demands the change of the current control system to be an integrated and miniaturized system that can be operated at low temperatures. In this study, we explore the fundamental units of the control system, describe the problems and alternatives of the current control system, and discuss a future quantum control system.

Colloidal quantum dot (QDs) have emerged as a crucial building block for LEDs due to their size-tunable emission wavelength, narrow spectral line width, and high quantum efficiency. Tremendous efforts have been dedicated to improving the performance of quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) in the past decade, primarily focusing on optimization of device architectures and synthetic procedures for high quality QDs. However, despite these efforts, the commercialization of QLEDs has yet to be realized due to the absence of suitable large-scale patterning technologies for high-resolution devices., This review will focus on the development trends associated with transfer printing, photolithography, and inkjet printing, and aims to provide a brief overview of the fabricated QLED devices. The advancement of various quantum dot patterning methods will lead to the development of not only QLED devices but also solar cells, quantum communication, and quantum computers.

암호화 프로그램에서 난수생성기는 널리 사용되며 중요한 역할을 하므로 공격의 대상이 되기 쉽고, 따라서 높은 난수성을 확보해야 한다. 최근에는 인공 신경망 기술이 발달함에 따라 난수생성기에 딥러닝 기술을 적용하는 연구들이 다수 진행되었으며, 본 논문에서는 이러한 연구 동향에 대해 알아본다. 크게 난수를 생성하는 연구와 다음에 올 수를 예측하는 예측 공격으로 나뉜다. 공통적으로는 학습해야 할 대상인 난수가 시계열 데이터이므로 대부분의 연구들이 RNN, CNN-1D 신경망을 사용한다. 난수 생성을 위해서는 분류형 신경망이 아닌, 생성형 신경망과 강화학습을 주로 사용하였다. 대부분의 연구들이 NIST SP-800 테스트를 시행하였을 때 높은 난수성을 확보할 수 있었다. 이외에도 최근 양자 컴퓨터가 개발됨에 따라 양자 하드웨어로부터의 양자 난수 생성기에 대한 예측 공격에 관한 연구도 있다. 딥러닝 기반의 난수 생성기에 대해서, 향후에는 기존의 난수생성기보다 빠른 생성 속도를 달성할 수 있는 경량 구현에 대한 연구와 그에 대한 비교 및 평가가 있어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
