This talk will cover basics of public-key encryption, and example design optimization of elliptic-curve based encryption algorithms.  Then extend design optimization on post quantum crypto-algorithm, CRISTALS-Kyber (FIPS 203 MLB-KEM)/Dilithium (FIPS204 MLB-DSA), hash based (FIPS 205 SHB-DSA), isogeny based encryption algorithms.  This talk will also introduce our recent activities, Agile-X project, for democratizing chip designs and fabrications.

Makoto Ikeda received the BE, ME and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan in 1991, 1993 and 1996 respectively.  He joined the University of Tokyo as a research associate in 1996 and is now professor and director of Systems Design Lab (d.lab), the University of Tokyo.  At the same time, he has been involved in the activities of VDEC (VLSI Design and Education Center, the University of Tokyo), to promote VLSI design education and research in Japanese academia.  He worked for hardware security, asynchronous circuits design, smart image sensor for 3-D range finding, and time-domain signal processing.  He has been serving various positions of various internationals conferences, including ISSCC ITPC Chair (ISSCC 2021), IMMD sub-committee chair (ISSCC 2015-2018), A-SSCC 2015 TPC Chair, VLSI Circuits Symposium PC Chair (2017) & Symposium Chair (2019).  He is a senior member of IEEE, IEICE Japan, and a member of IPSJ and ACM.
