REAL WORLD PQC

Andreas Hülsing is an assistant professor for provable security in the Coding Theory and Cryptology group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Andreas and his research group are currently supported by NWO under the Vidi grant “A solid theory for post-quantum cryptography”. Besides, Andreas is collaborating in the Formosa project to produce machine-checked proofs for high-assurance cryptographic software.  His research focuses on post-quantum cryptography – cryptography that resists quantum computer-aided attacks. Andreas’ works range from theoretical works, like how to model quantum attacks or formal security arguments in post-quantum security models, to applied works, like the analysis of side-channel attacks or the development of efficient hash-based signature schemes.  In many of his works Andreas tries to combine the theoretical and the applied perspective. This is especially reflected in his work on standardizing post-quantum cryptography.

Previously, Andreas was a postdoctoral researcher in the Coding Theory and Cryptology group, working with Tanja Lange in the PQCRYPTO project. Before, Andreas was a postdoctoral researcher in the cryptographic implementations group at TU/e, working with Daniel J. Bernstein. He did his PhD in the cryptography and computer algebra group at TU Darmstadt under the supervision of Johannes Buchmann. Before starting his PhD, Andreas worked as a research fellow at Fraunhofer SIT in Darmstadt. Andreas holds a Diploma in computer science from TU Darmstadt.
