I'm very happy to announce I'll be starting a position as a Ph.D.
researcher
in Applied Cryptography at the Institute for Computing and Information
Sciences of Radboud Universiteit in Nijmegen, starting in September
this year.
I'll be working with Lejla Batina as my supervisor, and Joan Daemen and
Peter
Schwabe as advisors. My topic is broadly "make tor's crypto better".
More
specifically, it's "make tor post-quantum"; beyond that, it could
reasonably
include working with other cryptographers to design some of the weirder
constructions which tor needs, e.g. the 509-byte chained wide-block
cipher
that Nick's been going on about.
