International Association
for Cryptologic Research

As a Post-Quantum Protocol expert, you will

• Work on security protocols based on post-quantum primitives such as Public Key Encryption, Key Encapsulation Mechanism, Key Exchange, and Digital Signatures schemes
• Analyze existing and propose new protocol designs, with special focus on post-quantum IPSec, VPNs, SSL, TLS, etc.
• Focus on protocols for lightweight environment
• Test and benchmark optimized and secure implementations of different protocols and study the impact on real life applications
• Investigate security properties and performance-security trade-offs
• Conduct research on new and/or state-of-the-art attacks
• Design and implementation of hybrid (post quantum – classical) solutions

Skills required for the job

• Knowledge on cryptography and cybersecurity, in particular a solid background in network security, especially protocol design and evaluation
• Excellent with C, C++, Python, (JAVA and Rust will be valuable as well)
• Hard and organized worker, quick learner, geared towards implementation. Eager to develop new skills and willing to take ownership of projects

Qualifications

• Ph.D. degree in Cryptography, Applied Cryptography, Cybersecurity, Mathematics or Computer Science or Engineering
