International Association
for Cryptologic Research

CableLabs leads technology innovation, research, and development of cryptography in the broadband industry. We need a researcher to help us look at very hard cryptography problems this summer! Our goals are to foster awareness of the cable industry’s cryptographic needs, to foster research and development for cryptographic algorithm and implementation improvements, and to better understand cryptographic vulnerabilities specific to our industry. This will be a high paced activity and will allow the research to investigate a cryptographic problem of their choosing!

In addition to a resume or CV, the researcher must submit a research proposal inspired by a list of topics as described below. CableLabs will select the candidate based on the most compelling proposal supported by a resume or CV that demonstrates reason to believe the research can be completed.

The selected researcher will be provided an orientation and experts will be made available to help understand how their research applies to the cable industry. A mentor will support the researcher, but work must be conducted independently. All research must be original.

The key deliverable for this project is a final report and presentation at the completion of research in August. If suitable, we may have the researcher present this work at CableLab’s Summer Conference.

The work must be performed in Louisville, CO at CableLabs. A modest relocation allowance will be provided.

Closing date for applications: 15 June 2016
