The Engineering Cryptographic Protocols (ENCRYPTO) Group at TU Darmstadt is looking for a doctoral student in Engineering Scalable Cryptographic Protocols.

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

The candidate will do cutting-edge research on privacy-preserving protocols that scale to real-world problem sizes, in particular for protocols such as secure multi-party computation, private set intersection or private information retrieval.

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, efficient algorithms and programming skills are 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.
