for Cryptologic Research

The Engineering Cryptographic Protocols Group at TU Darmstadt is looking for a doctoral student in Engineering Cryptographic Protocols for Cloud Computing.

Our group is involved in the two main research centers for IT security in Darmstadt, the Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED) and the European Center for Security and Privacy by Design (EC SPRIDE). We develop new methods and tools to optimize and automatically generate cryptographic protocols. See http://encrypto.de for details.

The candidate will work in the EU FP 7 research project PRACTICE (Privacy-Preserving Computation in the Cloud), http://www.practice-project.eu, with the goal of developing, optimizing, and automatically generating secure computation protocols for cloud computing.

The candidate is expected to have a completed Master (or equivalent) degree with excellent grades in IT security, computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, or a closely related field. Solid knowledge in IT security, applied cryptography, and programming skills is required. Additional knowledge in cryptographic protocols, parallel computing, compiler construction, programming languages, and software engineering is a plus.

Review of applications starts immediately until the position is filled.
