The Foundational Cryptography group at IBM Research Zurich has an opening for a PhD position for research on cryptographic proof systems.

Position Details

-Funded for 4 years
-Possibility of joint supervision at EPFL
-Ideal start date late 2026 or early 2027

Research Project Overview

Cryptographic proof systems allow a prover to convince a verifier that a computation was performed correctly. These systems have applications in secure cloud computing, verifiable machine learning, and privacy-preserving technologies.

However, many proof systems require the prover to use significantly more time and memory than the original computation. The research will develop new proof systems with reduced time and memory overheads, making it practical to verify the integrity of large-scale computations efficiently.

Requirements

The ideal candidate would enjoy using a mixture of algebra, combinatorics, and probability to analyze and optimize algorithms. Strong background in one or more of the following areas is valuable:
-Cryptographic proof systems (zero-knowledge proofs, succinct arguments)
-Error-correcting codes and coding theory
-Streaming algorithms and memory-efficient computation
-Lightweight cryptography

Diversity & Work Environment

IBM is committed to fostering diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

Automated Cryptanalysis using Constraint
Programming Domain: Symmetric Cryptography, Constraint Programming (CP/SAT/ILP), Security

Context & Objectives: In the context of global encryption standardization (e.g., NIST calls), evaluating the security of block ciphers is critical. Recent advances have shifted manual cryptanalysis toward automated constraint models. However, current tools (like TAGADA or CLAASP) only solve isolated sub-problems, requiring manual complexity compilation. This PhD aims to unify these steps into a single framework to optimize global attack complexity directly and find finer security bounds on established or forthcoming ciphers.

Core Research Axes:

• Fully Automated Differential Attacks: Merge separate attack phases into a single model using generic solvers to optimize global complexity instead of sub-problems.
• Improving Truncated & Boomerang Attacks: Implement new constraint types directly into the core of CP solvers to improve abstraction quality and refine theoretical bounds.
• Solver Scalability: Leverage structural patterns of encryption algorithms to guide solvers, reducing resolution times from months to days on high-round ciphers.

Profile Required:

• Master’s degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or Cryptography.
• Prior internship experience in automated cryptanalysis techniques is highly desired.
• Strong background in symmetric cryptography and/or optimization techniques (SAT, CP, ILP).

The candidate MUST BE EU or UK citizen.

The CITI Lab at INSA Lyon in France is looking for a PhD student to carry out cutting-edge research in privacy-preserving Federated Learning (FL).

FL enables collaborative model training without sharing raw data, preserving privacy by exchanging model updates instead. However, FL remains vulnerable to privacy leakage, poisoning attacks, and challenges from client heterogeneity. Secure Aggregation techniques, such as Homomorphic Encryption, improve privacy, while defenses like anomaly detection and robust aggregation enhance security but often increase computational costs. Asynchronous FL (AsyncFL) improves scalability by processing updates as they arrive, and Buffered AsyncFL helps maintain privacy by aggregating updates in batches. Despite its benefits, FL can be energy-intensive, motivating sustainable approaches such as fog computing and communication-efficient protocols. The proposed SURPRISA-FL framework addresses these challenges by combining privacy preservation, Byzantine robustness, asynchronous participation, and energy efficiency.

This fully funded position has a 3-year duration, with a negotiable start date.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with faculty and researchers to design innovative cryptographic protocols.
• Publish research findings in leading computer science conferences and journals.
• Participate in academic activities, including seminars, workshops, and conferences.
• Potentially assist in teaching duties.

Requirements:

• A strong background in cryptography, with an MSc in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related discipline.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Strong organizational and time-management abilities to balance research, coursework, and teaching responsibilities.
• Critical thinking and analytical skills, with fluency in technical English.
• Proficiency in programming.
