About the Job

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a Master's in Cryptology or equivalent training.
  • Have solid foundations in public-key cryptography, security models and properties, and development.
  • Have a marked interest in privacy-preserving cryptographic protocols.
  • Be able to read, understand, and analyze scientific publications in English.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct a scientific literature review of relevant approaches, including group signatures, attribute-based signatures, anonymous credentials, zero-knowledge proofs, and verifiable audit mechanisms.
  • Define security requirements and adversary models based on representative Data-Centric Security use cases.
  • Study anonymity, unlinkability, authenticity, non-repudiation, and protection against fraudulent attribution of an action to an innocent user.
  • Analyze information that may be exposed through metadata and audit logs.
  • Study the powers and trust assumptions of authorities capable of lifting anonymity.
  • Select a suitable approach and analyze its compatibility with Covercrypt-based access-policy encryption.
  • Develop a targeted prototype and integrate it into an existing Data-Centric Security demonstrator.
  • Conduct an experimental evaluation of computational and communication costs, privacy limitations, and user-management constraints.
  • Produce a research report describing the literature review, threat model, and security guarantees; a documented prototype integrated into the demonstrator; and reproducible experimental results.
  • Clearly distinguish guarantees provided by cryptographic mechanisms from those dependent on the system in which they are deployed.

Desired Qualifications

  • A first familiarity with advanced signatures, zero-knowledge proofs, or attribute-based encryption.
