Akin Ünal
Hi, I am a postdoctoral researcher at Institute of Science and Technology Austria in the group of Krzysztof Pietrzak and an FWF ESPRIT fellow (ProvACAna). I did my phd at ETH Zurich under the supervision of Dennis Hofheinz.
My main research field is Algebraic Cryptanalysis, but I also study cryptanalysis and cryptography in other areas (experimental lattice-based stuff, generic group-based lower bounds, etc). In algebraic cryptanalysis, I strive for theoretical results that allow for proving and connecting typical phenomenons of the field.
Research Interests
- Algebraic Cryptanalysis and its Theory
- Lower Bounds in Idealized Group Models
- Cryptanalysis on low-weight PRGs and Code-like Assumptions
