Constanza Riera

Assoc. Prof. Constanza Riera is affiliated with the Department of Computing, Mathematics, and Physics at the University of South-East Norway. Her research focuses on cryptography, finite fields, Boolean functions, quantum computing, algebraic combinatorics, and coding theory. She has published extensively on topics including differential spectra, cryptographic function design, quantum states, and algebraic structures. Her work bridges theoretical mathematics with applications in cryptography and information security.

Recent articles explore properties of APN functions, c-differentials, quantum state characterization, and combinatorial designs rooted in finite fields. Notable contributions include advancements in c-differential uniformity and the application of Dillon's switching method to construct secure functions.

Riera's research also delves into quantum computing, analyzing graph-based quantum states and their algebraic properties. Her interdisciplinary approach addresses both foundational mathematical problems and practical cryptographic challenges.
