PhD position in Applied Cryptography and Information Security (m/w/d)

We are looking for a bright and motivated PhD student to work in the topics of information security and cryptography
The student is expected to work on topics that include security and privacy issues for resource-constrained devices (e.g., sensors) that rely on external untrusted servers in order to perform computations. More precisely, the student shall be working on investigating efficient authentication and verifiable delegation of computation mechanisms that provide: i) provable security guarantees, and ii) rigorous privacy guarantees.
The overall aim of the PhD position will be to design and evaluate provably secure cryptographic protocols for privacy-preserving authentication and verifiable delegation of computation protocols. The research shall also consider the case where multiple clients outsource jointly computations to untrusted cloud servers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform exciting and challenging research in the domain of information security and cryptography.
• Support and assist in teaching computer security and cryptography courses.
