In this article, a password-authenticated key exchange (PAKE) version of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) post-quantum cryptography (PQC) public-key encryption and key-establishment standard is constructed. We mainly focused on how the PAKE version of PQC standard Kyber with mobile compatibility can be obtained by using simple structured password components. In the design process, the conventional password-based authenticated key exchange (PAK) approach is updated under the module learning with errors (MLWE) assumptions to add password-based authentication.

In this article, we propose a novel bilateral generalization inhomogenous short integer solution (BiGISIS)-based password-authenticated key exchange (PAKE) scheme for post-quantum era security. The hardness assumption of the constructed PAKE is based on newly proposed hard lattice problem, BiGISIS. The main aim of this article is to provide a solution for the post-quantum secure PAKE scheme, which is one of the open problems in the literature.

The proposed KEM is obtained by combining one-way D-NTRU encryption and Dent's KEM design method. The main contribution of this article is to construct a D-NTRU-based KEM that provides indistinguishability under adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack (IND-CCA2) security.

Human activities produce a variety of contaminants, including trace metals, which are common forms of contamination that enter marine ecosystems. This study was carried out to provide information on trace element concentrations (Hg, Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn) in the muscles of Rapana venosa (Valenciennes, 1846) available on Sinop coasts of the southern Black Sea and to evaluate the possible risk associated with their consumption.

In this study, the variability in the shapes of the body and sagitta otoliths was examined to identify the different anchovy stocks in the Black Sea (26.5°E-39.
