ATRC recently launched an exciting pilot initiative to enhance STEM education in Abu Dhabi through ImagiCharm, a wearable tool that introduces coding and creativity to students! Covering 22 schools, including 6 in Al Ain, the initiative achieved 94% overall satisfaction and 76% eagerness among teachers to implement it in classrooms. With 40 teachers trained, we aim to reach 1,000 students this academic year, with potential for further expansion. At ATRC we are laying the foundation for expanded engagement, aiming to impact many students in the near future! #ATRC #STEMEducation #ImagiCharm #AbuDhabi #FutureInnovators #EdTechTransformation imagi

TII is proud to share that our researchers contributed as inventors in 5 out of 14 selected digital signature schemes announced by The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), as the list of the candidate algorithms selected for the second round of the Additional Digital Signatures for the NIST PQC Standardization Process.   Following 14 candidates advanced to Round 2 from 40 submissions accepted by NIST in 2023.   This process aims to assess public-key digital signature algorithms for potential standardization to safeguard sensitive information into the foreseeable future, even in the presence of powerful quantum computers.   The selected schemes will augment recently released quantum-safe cryptographic standards by NIST.   Further information about the evaluation criteria and selection process is available here: https://lnkd.in/dDqPb8q2   PERK -- Dr. Najwa A., Slim Bettaieb, Loïc Bidoux, Alessandro Budroni, Andre Esser, Mukul Kulkarni, Víctor Mateu, Marco Palumbi, Lucas Perin   MIRATH -- Loïc Bidoux, Jesús-Javier Chi-Domínguez, Gora Adj, Luis Alberto R., Javier Verbel, Emanuele Bellini, Andre Esser, Floyd Zweydinger   RYDE -- Loïc Bidoux, Jesús-Javier Chi-Domínguez   SQISign -- Jorge Chavez-Saab, Francisco Rodríguez Henríquez   LESS -- Andre Esser, Floyd Zweydinger
