CTIT, University of Twente, the Netherlands PhD Research Position on Light-weight crypto primitives
The Centre for Telematics and Information Technology (CTIT) is a multidisciplinary research institute of the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands. CTIT coordinates the research activities in all the areas relevant to the development, the introduction and the usage of information technology systems. http://www.ctit.utwente.nl/
The research topic of the PhD student will be to design secure symmetric cryptographic primitives and/or secure protocols (suitable for such primitives) which use limited resources. Design of crypto algorithms for
such constrained environments adds additional not security related but equally important requirements to the design process.Examples are gate equivalence of the hardware implementation and its power consumption or agility, throughput, etc. In order to achieve them often difficult tradeoffs have to be made as well as the appropriate security level has to be chosen for the particular application. Because the security level is usually optimized up to the edge the design of such symmetric crypto algorithms and protocols is a very challenging task.
