[Utlysning](https://efzu.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1/job/3667/) Skal jeg gidde å søke? Det virker jo for det første som lavere sannsynlighet for at jeg får denne enn noen av de andre jeg har søkt på, og for det andre er jeg ikke sikker på om jeg har lyst på den. Ville jeg ikke hatt mer lyst til å, for eksempel, være post-doc under [[Andris Ambainis]]? De skriver: > Research areas particularly relevant for this position are (but not necessarily limited to): > > - Computer security forensics > - Cyber-risk management > - Security and AI (both security of and security using) > - Malware analysis and penetration testing (ethical hacking) > - Privacy and privacy enhancing technologies > - Social engineering > - Security engineering > - Security in pervasive computing systems (incl. cyber physical systems, IoT, mobile healthcare systems and wireless computing systems) > - Authentication and identity management systems  > - Cybersecurity governance Er jo absolutt ingenting her jeg er interessert i (muligens unntatt security of AI). Kvantesikkerhet er jo ikke nevnt engang. Hvem er personen ansvarlig for stillingen, og hvor nært knyttet er han til kryptogruppen? Svar på det første: [Nicola Dragoni](https://orbit.dtu.dk/en/persons/nicola-dragoni), deputy director at DTU Compute (som huser kryptogruppen), head of section [Cybersecurity Engineering](https://www.compute.dtu.dk/sections/cyber) (som huser vennene mine i kryptogruppen). Hmm. Men de skriver at deres research areas er splittet i to: Cryptography (Symmetric, Quantum and Post-Quantum), og Cybersecurity in Pervasive Computing: > The evolution of computing from large mainframes to people having personal computers and devices connected to the Internet, has dramatically changed cybersecurity: from closed operating environments to an open cyberspace in which every connected device can be accessed – and therefore hacked - from anywhere on the planet. > > Today most networked computing systems can be considered socio-technical systems and the successful defence against cyber-attacks requires taking a broad range of human and technical factors into account: from the general security awareness among agents in an organisation to the proper enforcement of security policies and mechanisms. > > Our research focuses on the design, development, and testing of cybersecurity services for networked computing systems. This includes models, policies, and mechanisms to support secure collaboration in open dynamic systems, such as sensor networks, mobile systems, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). We are especially active in the field of “proactive security”, in particular defensive cyber-deception techniques meant to attract and catch malicious actors by means of deceptive tactics. > > Our research also covers intrusion detection, biometric authentication, trust management, malware detection, blockchain, cloud security, IoT/CPS/edge security, botnet monitoring, alert data correlation and machine/deep learning, to mention a few. Det matcher jo bedre kravene de listet over. Høres altså ut som at de ønsker å hyre folk til denne halvdelen av forskningsgruppen. I så fall er jeg *ikke interessert*. På den annen side skriver de også: > Candidates with strong expertise in other areas of cybersecurity are also encouraged to apply. Hmm. Men nei: Hvis jeg først skal konkurrere med de styrkene jeg har, så må det nok være en stilling som faktisk ser etter *meg*, ikke en som skulle ansatt meg på tross av at de håpet på noen andre. Det fins nok plenty sterke cybersecurity-kandidater der, og jeg har ikke *så* mye å vise til helt enda. (Og hvis jeg skriver "Program Committee PKC'25" i CV-en min så sier nok ikke det Prof. Dragoni så forferdelig mye.)
