DFG-Research Training Group

Cryptography in Ubiquitous Computing

 

The Horst Görtz Institute (HGI) at Ruhr-University Bochum is one of Europe’s leading research centers in IT security. The DFG, or German Research Foundation, awarded more than €4 million to the HGI for the establishment of the interdisciplinary research training group “New Challenges for Cryptography in Ubiquitous Computing”. We are looking for candidates with outstanding academic degrees in the fields of electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics or related areas.

 

The research training group will study problems which are fundamental for securing the Inter-net of Things. The research is structured in three levels: cryptographic primitives, device and system level. The research topics range from cryptographic foundations such as fully homomorphic encryption for privacy in cloud computing, over security for medical implants to internet security solutions involving new national ID cards. A central goal of the doctoral training is an interdisciplinary and structured education at the highest scientific level. Establishing networks to top internationally research groups is part of the training.

 

A group of internationally renowned researchers together with excellent funding provides an extremely interesting scientific environment. The HGI is known for its good working atmosphere.

We are offering positions for doctoral students (post-M.Sc.), qualifying fellow stipends (begin of doctoral studies post-B.Sc.) as well as a post-doc position.
