Postdoc position on Privacy and Applied Cryptography

Lund University

We now offer a new postdoctoral position in the field of Applied Cryptography and Privacy. The research is devoted to the broader area of privacy-preserving storage and computation outsourcing. Privacy-preserving computation outsourcing allows users to outsource computation tasks to a cloud server without revealing to the server anything about the user data or even what kind of computations the user is performing. The project will explore the applications of FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) towards realizing such privacy-preserving systems. The position is funded through the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP). WASP is Sweden’s largest individual research program ever, a major national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education, and faculty recruitment.
