Do you want to contribute to making our increasingly digitised world safer by diving into the exciting field of cryptographic analysis? This research topic aims to build confidence in the cryptography we all rely on in our daily lives. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to explore and contribute to groundbreaking research in the cryptanalysis of novel symmetric encryption algorithms designed for advanced protocols, so-called STAPs. Specific research areas will be discussed with the successful applicant, but they may include techniques such as algebraic cryptanalysis or statistical attacks on symmetric primitives designed specifically for use with fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), multi-party computation (MPC) or zero-knowledge protocols (ZK). This is not just an opportunity to develop and shape your own research project, but also to help move the research front in cryptography.
