Doctoral Researcher (PhD student) in Applied Cryptography
FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg
The Research Training Group "Cybercrime and Forensic Computing" aims to systematically analyse research questions arising from the interaction between computer science and criminal law. The following research areas are particularly relevant to one of the PhD positions:
Applicants should have an excellent academic record, hold an MSc or an equivalent university degree in computer science or related disciplines, and have the goal to finish a PhD degree within three years. For the particular position in applied cryptography, applicants should have a practical understanding of modern cryptographic protocols deployed in the real world and a background in provable security (e.g., game-based security definitions, reduction-based proofs, ...).
Contact: Felix Freiling (felix.freiling@fau.de) for general questions and the application process,
Paul Rösler (paul.roesler@fau.de) for questions about the position in the applied cryptography group.
