Open Call 2 Winning Projects Update: QRYPTIX
Qryptix: Post-Quantum Cryptographic Plugins and DevTools for Eclipse-Qrisp IDE is one of the winning projects of PQ-REACT’s second Open Call. Developed by Next-Tech Association and ASI Enterprise Aps under Use Case 4 “Eclipse-Qrisp for PQC”, Qryptix is a plugin for the Eclipse-Qrisp IDE that helps developers, researchers, and compliance officers transition from classical to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
Work in Progress with Qryptix
During the first reporting period, the Qryptix project successfully completed the functional development of all four planned plugins: the PQC Library Integrator, Code Scanner & Recommender, Cryptographic Agility Tool, and Secure Coding Assistant. A modular and extensible architecture was established within the Eclipse-Qrisp environment, enabling seamless integration of post-quantum cryptographic mechanisms into developer workflows. Automated unit testing and coverage monitoring were implemented to ensure code stability and quality. Initial alignment with NIST processes and relevant European cybersecurity standards was achieved. Additionally, a built-in benchmarking engine was developed to assess CPU usage, memory consumption, and latency of classical, hybrid, and PQC schemes. Communication and dissemination activities were also initiated under Work Package 4.
What’s next?
The next phase will focus on final integration, optimisation, and system stabilisation of the Qryptix plugins within Eclipse-Qrisp. This will be followed by the execution of predefined benchmarking scenarios and the completion of performance validation reports. Subsequently, the project will implement two real-world demonstrators and conduct structured user acceptance testing with developers and cybersecurity professionals. Dissemination activities, including webinars, workshops, and the official public release of the plugin suite, will be intensified to support adoption and ecosystem engagement.
