Research at the digital frontier

Exploring new frontiers in security, privacy and communication.

Our research departments cover a range of problems within cryptography and information theory. Have a closer look below at our focus areas and which researchers are working within the different areas.

Our departements

The Department of
Cryptography

Cryptographic algorithms are fundamental to information security, and evolving systems demand algorithms with increasingly specialized features.

The Department of
Information Theory

The department conducts research on statistical learning theory, quantum information science, and information-theoretic privacy and security.

Physical implementations
of cryptography

This research investigates hardware vulnerabilities by using fault injections and analyzing side channels, like power consumption, to uncover secret keys.

Trust in cryptographic algorithms

This area focuses on cryptanalysis to rigorously test and verify the security of current and future post-quantum mathematical algorithms.

Privacy-preserving technologies

This theme develops advanced encryption and multiparty computations that allow different entities to collaboratively analyze data without exposing their sensitive raw information.

Distributed AI

This research designs communication-efficient, decentralized machine learning protocols that train models across local devices while maintaining strict data privacy.

Quantum computing and communications

This area focuses on making quantum technology practical by developing error-correcting codes and distributed quantum networks that can operate under realistic physical noise and resource constraints.
