- Introduksjoner rundt bordet:
- Tjerand:
- teaching a new course in secure cryptographic implementations
- planning PKC’25 with Bor
- working on projects with «many of you»
- Bor
- recently defended
- semester will be largely teaching
- wireless network security
- 4th year course on wifi, gsm, bluetooth, finding attacks and stuff
- coordinating the final stages of the master’s project
- and learning how to be a teacher through UNIPED(?)
- getting back to old projects that were on hold while the dissertation was being finished
- Anamaria
- taking over Colin’s network security course
- doing research with Tikaram, Lea, Chris
- held a talk in Israel on NIST PQC process
- Jiaxin
- on leave from October
- becomes a professor in Germany
- still teaches crypto for a few weeks
- Oskar
- making automatically graded exercises for TMA4140
- research: FHE-based voting from PQ assumptions
- Kelsey
- work with Kristian also on homomorphic voting
- Lotta
- a lot of teaching and a lot of courses to take this semester, so research is a smaller part
- on a project for writing tutorials for easycrypt
- easycrypt project to figure out which kinds of proofs are easier and which are harder to implement
- Danilo
- submitted signature scheme for NIST PQ this summer
- but two german guys broke it, tried to fix it, still broken
- NIST guys rejected the scheme, but suggested to write a paper with him about all the kinds of attacks against this project (sadly reduces to DL)
- paper writeup WIP
- possible that it can be made PQ again through MPC
- (based on exponential congruence problem)
- Kristian
- on sabbatical this semester!
- short term goal: continue with PAKE
- side goal: since I have so many students doing easycrypt, maybe time to actually learn it
- Ole Martin
- doing mattelab in Matte 3
- finishing up a course with Kristian in ceremonies (?)
- finishing up a project … ?
- starting new project «soon» on BankID and FIDO
- Karoline
- will hold first lectures «ever» (in Tjerands course and one other)
- plus lab work
- work with Tjerand and Patrick Hugh on distributed keygen
- Emil
- teaching, lab, grading, plus teaching assistant on course on dependability
- also taking among others Tjerand’s course
- research: verifiable decryption in the head, completed soon hopefully
- idea after that is take that concept and hopefully use it in other settings
- Sonu
- doing teaching duties
- research: submitted paper at FSE, soft reject (update and retry in 3 months)
- Chris
- taking Tjerand’s seminar
- working under Anamaria and Tjerand on lattice based vector commitments, will be used for ZK
- Tikaram
- Homomorphic encryption and leakages (SCA)
- meg
- (?)
- teaching, which will clash with this meeting sadly
- working with Lea on FHE
- interested in PQ
- Lea
- teaching on security, robustness and ICT networks
- may be doing some master’s supervision
- work with Tjerand and Ana on circuit privacy (?)
- security of CKKS with among others Martha!
- (? indian looking woman)
- working on (?) and machine learning
- + teaching
- + a course
- Amir (online)
- 4th year of phd
- research: differential privacy and MPC (intersection and individually)
- submitted two articles with Staal
- Slobodan (online)
- teaching (non-crypto related course)
- research: non-binary fields
- got some hardware recently to play with
- Staal (online)
- involved with SFI … what’s that?
- getting involved in AI and ML stuff, will be recruiting students doing this very soon
- trying to learn more about automatic theorem proving (formal methods)
- Dan (online)
- postdoc working with Staal
- cleanup project: automatically anonymize personal documents using ML
- submitted paper to ISIT
- + supervising a master’s student
Other:
- Junjun Park from Korea, currently working with Nigel, will come here in April
- a job position will be re-announced (what kind?) … associate professor in post-quantum crypto
- 6 year tenure track position
