Towards Classical Software Verification using Quantum Computers

Sebastian Issel 13. August 2025

In this post, we explore the possibility of accelerating the formal verification of classical programs using quantum computers. Common programming errors, such as null-pointer dereference and out-of-bound access, are prevalent sources of security flaws. Our approach involves generating a Satisfiability (SAT) instance from code snippets, which is satisfiable if the undesired behavior exists. This instance is then converted into an optimization problem, solved using quantum algorithms, thus potentially achieving asymptotically polynomial speedup.

Gateway to the Danger Zone: Secure and Authentic Remote Reset in Machine Safety 

Sebastian N. Peters 22. July 2025

Modern manufacturing is rapidly digitizing, unlocking new business models and unprecedented efficiency. While remote operation has become commonplace, machine safety has still required hands-on, local intervention — until now. Our latest work at Fraunhofer AISEC bridges this gap with a secure, authentic remote reset system for safety events, blending future-proof cryptography and robust safety design. Here’s how we’re redefining the boundaries of safe, remote manufacturing.

Using Prototypes for Private Machine Learning 

Dariush Wahdany 30. May 2025

How can machine learning respect privacy without sacrificing fairness? Discover DPPL, a prototype-based method that provides strong privacy guarantees while boosting accuracy for underrepresented groups. By addressing bias in differentially private models, this approach ensures ethical and inclusive AI development without compromising performance.

Multi-Party Computation in the Head – an Introduction

Thomas Bellebaum 30. April 2025

In 2016, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced a standardization process for quantum-secure cryptographic primitives. The goal was to find secure key encapsulation mechanisms (KEM) and signature schemes. One unique approach was the PICNIC signature scheme, a scheme utilizing the MPC-in-the-Head (MPCitH) paradigm. This made PICNIC an interesting approach, since its security relies on well researched block ciphers and hash functions. PICNIC was announced as an alternative candidate by NIST. A lot of follow-up schemes based on PICNIC, like BBQ, Banquet, and FEAST, were proposed using different block ciphers and variations on the original construction paradigm. In 2022, NIST announced a second call specifically for signature schemes. MPC-in-the-Head-based signature schemes became their own category, with multiple submissions in this call. This articel explains the core idea and functionality of early MPCitH based signature schemes and how we at Fraunhofer AISEC make use of the concepts.
