Klaus Kursawe and I won the ARES 2015 Best Paper Award for our paper Structural Weaknesses in the Open Smart Grid Protocol. eprint

While working for ENCS I was one of the researchers on the FP7 project SeGRID (Security for Smart Electricity GRIDs ). I contributed in particular to the deliverables.

At ENCS I co-wrote the Smart Meter Requirements for Austria’s End-to-End Secure Smart Metering architecture published by Oesterreichs Energie. We wrote the original in German, then added an English translation later. The documents were made available to the public: https://oesterreichsenergie.at/sicherheitsanforderungen-fuer-smart-meter.html

I am visiting the Cryptography Research Group at Microsoft Research in Redmond from February 4 to April 26, 2013. Thanks to Kristin Lauter and Michael Naehrig for inviting me.

On September 1, 2011 I started as a postdoc in the Math department at the Technical University of Denmark. The position is funded by a Technology and Production Sciences (FTP) grant by the Danish Council for Independent Research under grant number 11-105325; awarded 1,622,015 DKK for the purpose of conducting research on “Code-based Cryptography”.

• official announcement
• project description “Code-based Cryptography”

Rubicon Award 2011 by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO); awarded 163,763 Euro for the purpose of conducting research on “Code-based Cryptography”; grant money declined because in conflict with FTP grant.

Official announcements in English and Nederlands.

Thanks to Dan Bernstein and NIST for employing me for the period of three months as research associate in the Computer Science Department at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Also a big thanks to Jon Solworth for giving me asylum in the RITES lab.

Together with Tanja Lange I co-organized the Code-based Cryptography Workshop: May 11-12, 2011 at Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
