The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.

The Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg is a leading international research and innovation centre in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT systems and services.

We play an instrumental role in Europe by fueling innovation through research partnerships with industry, boosting R&D investments leading to economic growth, and attracting highly qualified talent. We look for researchers from diverse academic backgrounds to contribute to our projects in areas such as: Network Security, Information Assurance, Model-driven Security, Cloud Computing, Cryptography, Satellite Systems, Vehicular Networks, and ICT Services & Applications.

Your role

The successful candidate will join the APSIA Group (Applied Security and Information Assurance), led by Dr. Peter B. Roenne. The APSIA group has a strong research record on the design, analysis, modelling and implementation of security protocols with classical, post-quantum, and quantum cryptography.

The candidate will pursue a doctorate in computer science with a focus on the migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) while collaborating with the Ministry for Digitalization in Luxembourg on a joint project. The project aims to provide guidance on the transformation of applications relying on classical cryptography, prone to attacks from quantum computers, to post-quantum cryptography. Key challenges are secure implementations of PQC, their integration into protocols, defining and proving security, ensuring cryptoagility as well as understanding the problems facing institutions and companies in this migration.

In general, the candidate will perform the following tasks:

  • Carry out research in areas relevant to PQC, such as:
    • Designing and Implementing novel PQC protocols
  • Evaluating and proving security against quantum-capable attackers
  • Benchmarking PQC techniques with respect time and energy-consumption
  • Researching obstacles and guidance in the PQC migration
