International Association
for Cryptologic Research

The Laboratory of Algorithmics, Cryptology and Security (LACS) of the University of Luxembourg is looking for two Ph.D. students in the area of symmetric cryptography and information security. Candidates are expected to hold an M.Sc. degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or applied mathematics with GPA > 80%. Candidates with an interest to conduct leading-edge research in one of the following areas are particularly encouraged to apply:

• Design and analysis of symmetric cryptographic primitives
• Efficient implementation of cryptosystems in hardware and software
• Physical attacks (SPA, DPA, fault attacks, etc.) and countermeasures
• Network and embedded systems security
• Privacy/Anonymity
