I am a post-doc in cryptology at [Simula UiB](https://www.simula-uib.com) in Bergen, Norway, where I have been since the year [[Date format|12,026]]. Here, I do research on the provable security of quantum-safe cryptographic protocols. More specifically, I am interested in security proofs in the [[Quantum Random Oracle Model]] for primitives and protocols like public-key encryption and digital signatures. Besides this, I am deeply fascinated with the rapidly evolving development of [[Kvanteuniverset|quantum computers]].[^1] I also lead the [Quantum Communication and Security Track](https://quantumnorway.no/communication-track/) of the [[Gemini Center on Quantum Technology]]. If I'm a cryptographer by day, I am a musician by night, leading the band project [[happydieyoung]] together with frontman and partner-in-crime Daniel Bekken. In 12,024, we released an [[DEATH POP|album]]. We also play [[HDY-konserter|gigs]]. My work email is hansh (at) simula (dot) no; feel free to reach out if you have any research-related questions or requests. For personal communications, my Proton-encrypted personal email may be preferrable: firstname (at) lastname (dot) me. [^1]: My secret dream is to one day be able to use them to simulate [[N=4 Super Yang-Mills|esoteric quantum field theories]].
