Job Posting
We are looking for a highly motivated doctoral researcher in post-quantum cryptography with particular emphasis on multivariate-based cryptography.
As a recent response to the recent NIST call for new post-quantum secure signature schemes, 11 multivariate-based signature schemes were submitted. The goal of the PhD is to focus on cryptanalysis of these submissions and more specifically on methods from algebraic geometry that can aid in breaking said systems.
Specific Skills Required: The candidate should hold a Master's degree in mathematics and/or computer science, preferably with experience in algebraic geometry. Candidates that perform well on international maths/CS olympiades are preferred.
