for Cryptologic Research

We are looking for a motivated candidate for a PhD position on multi-factor authentication protocols. The student will be part of the SCAMPER project team. The research will include design and implementation of novel multi-factor authentication protocols using advanced cryptographic techniques such as MPC, Anonymous Credential, in combination with biometric template protection methods. The student will collaborate closely with academic and industrial partners. Responsibilities • Design efficient protocols for multifactor authentication including fuzzy authentication factors • Perform security analysis and evaluations • Collaborate with industry stakeholders The candidate must hold a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Mathematics, have good grades and a keen interest in cryptography. We prefer candidates who can demonstrate that they have developed their research skills during their Master’s studies. Strong background on the following is required: • Mathematics, including Probability and Statistics • Coding Theory • Programming skills • It would also be considered as a merit to have some background in cryptography
