Workshop on Quantum Communication and Information Security

Network Security & Cryptography (NSC) Lab under Department of Information Technology, IIIT- Allahabad is established with the motive of developing various techniques and algorithms to protect the network infrastructure against various attacks. Various research areas in the field of Network Security and Cryptography is identified and research is initiated to fulfill the security requirements. NSC lab is started to provide necessary infrastructure to the students of IIIT-Allahabad to carry out their research in the field of security and cryptography.For more information visit the NSC Lab site.

Cyber MANTHAN Centre at IIIT Hyderabad is a dedicated initiative focused on cybersecurity research, training, capacity building, and practical technology development. The Centre works towards strengthening cybersecurity preparedness across critical sectors by bringing together academic expertise, applied research, industry collaboration, and hands-on training environments. The Centre focuses on key areas such as IT and OT/ICS security, cyber-physical systems, digital twins, threat detection, vulnerability assessment, incident response, and security operations. It also supports the development of cybersecurity solutions, skill-building programs, workshops, audits, and collaborative projects with government, academia, and industry partners. Through its advanced lab infrastructure and multidisciplinary expertise, Cyber MANTHAN Centre aims to contribute to national cyber resilience by enabling research-driven innovation, practical demonstrations, and capacity building in emerging areas of cybersecurity.

The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, a premier R&D organization under MeitY, was established in 1988 to develop indigenous supercomputers following import restrictions, leading to the creation of PARAM and subsequent advanced systems. Over time, it expanded into diverse domains including Indian language computing (via GIST and contributions from National Centre for Software Technology), applied electronics through Electronic Research and Development Centre of India, health informatics, and software technologies. It also launched education and training programs in 1994 to support industry-ready skill development. Today, C-DAC plays a crucial role in strengthening India’s technological capabilities by driving innovation, supporting national policies, and developing advanced IT and electronics solutions across sectors. CDAC-B, in collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology Madras and Society for Electronic Transactions and Security, has established India’s first QKD testbed in Chennai, known as MAQAN (Metro Area Quantum Access Network). This initiative is being extended into a long-distance network from Chennai to Delhi under the project called QuILA (Quantum Internet with Local Access).
