Coordinated by the University of Cyprus and supported by 14 consortium partners, FOCAL aims to establish theoretical foundations and develop engineering mechanisms for achieving optimal and interoperable end-to-end (E2E) functional composition of PQC-enabled systems across both provisioned and resource-constrained large-scale networked environments.

The Impact

FOCAL’s main impact is to protect European infrastructure from future quantum-powered cyberattacks. By enabling secure and agile cryptographic systems, the project helps eliminate the risks of quantum-enabled cybercrime across multiple domains. It also strengthens Europe’s technological sovereignty and supports the development of secure digital ecosystems for the post-quantum era.

FOCAL Project has received funding from ECCC under the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 101225859.
