Post-docs on the Provable Security of Symmetric Cryptography
Xiamen University, Xiamen, China
Located in Xiamen, which is one of China’s top ten livable cities, Xiamen University is generally acknowledged as one of the most beautiful universities in China. It has been perennially regarded as one of the top academic institutions in Southern China. With its lovely campus, profound cultural foundation, and great research atmosphere, Xiamen University provides an ideal environment for academic research and professional development.
Xiamen University is now seeking candidates to fill two post-doc positions on the provable security of symmetric-key cryptography, with a tentative duration of 2 years. Potential research topics include, but are not limited to, the following directions:
- Authenticated encryption and message authentication codes with new security features, e.g., leakage-resistance, key-committing, high security.
- Provable security and generic attacks of hash functions.
- Security analysis and proofs of more general modes of operation in real-world applications/standards.
Candidates with proven records of publications in established venues in cryptography/security are encouraged to apply. Candidates are invited to send a resume and motivation letter to Dr. Yaobin Shen (yaobin.shen [at] xmu.edu.cn).
