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.
