Job description

Job Title : Freelance Researcher – Hybrid Quantum-Resilient Cryptographic Protocols Using Python

Job Type : Freelancing

Objective : Design and evaluate HQBChain , a high-fidelity hybrid cryptographic protocol that combines Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) , Post-Quantum Cryptography (Kyber, Dilithium) , and AES-GCM symmetric encryption to deliver secure, scalable, and quantum-resilient blockchain communication

Job Purpose :

  • Lead the design, implementation, and simulation of HQBChain for next-generation secure blockchain systems.
  • Develop Python-based modules for QKD-based key exchange , PQC authentication / signatures , and AES-GCM transaction encryption .
  • Build a simulation-driven environment incorporating quantum noise models (IBM Quantum), PQC benchmarks (NIST, liboqs), and blockchain transaction workloads (Hyperledger Fabric).
  • Publish research outcomes, including protocol architecture, benchmarking results, and security analysis , in high-impact journals.

Required Qualification :

  • Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Cryptography, Applied Mathematics, Cybersecurity, or Quantum Information Science .
  • Strong background in post-quantum cryptography, QKD protocols (BB84, E91), and hybrid cryptographic systems .
  • Proficiency with Python and cryptographic libraries
  • Tools to be Familiar :

  • Programming : Python (mandatory); familiarity with C / C++ is a plus.
  • Simulation / Testing : Jupyter, IBM Quantum noise models.
  • Blockchain Frameworks : Hyperledger Fabric, Python-based blockchain simulators.
  • Required Experience

  • At least 2+ years of research or development in cryptography, protocol design, or blockchain security.
  • Hands-on experience with post-quantum algorithms (e.g., Kyber, Dilithium, Falcon, SPHINCS+) and QKD simulations .
  • Track record of publishing reproducible, peer-reviewed research with algorithmic and experimental rigor.
  • Required Knowledge / Skills :

  • Hybrid cryptography (QKD + PQC + symmetric crypto).
  • Simulation-driven security evaluation using realistic noise models and blockchain workloads.
  • Security metrics : key generation rates, QBER, transaction throughput, block validation latency.
  • Familiarity with quantum attack models (eavesdropping detection, side-channel threats, adversarial modeling).
  • Ability to benchmark and optimize algorithms for scalability in blockchain networks.
  • Job Description :

  • Develop, simulate, and validate HQBChain , a hybrid quantum-resilient protocol for blockchain.
  • Implement QKD key exchange, PQC signatures (Dilithium), and AES-GCM encryption in Python.
  • Run simulation experiments using IBM Quantum noise data, NIST PQC benchmarks, and Hyperledger Fabric workloads.
  • Benchmark HQBChain against RSA / ECDSA and PQC-only systems , measuring performance and resilience under quantum adversarial conditions.
  • Contribute to Scopus / SCI-indexed publications , prepare datasets, maintain reproducible code (Git), and respond to reviewer feedback.
  • Ensure academic integrity, originality, and transparency across all stages of the research cycle.
