Michael Tempelmeier

Michael Tempelmeier is a researcher at the Chair of Information Security, Technical University of Munich (TUM), specializing in hardware security and cryptographic implementations. His work focuses on authenticated encryption, lightweight cryptography (NIST LWC/CAESAR), and the development of evaluation frameworks for cryptographic hardware. He actively contributes to teaching, holding the Zertifikat Hochschullehre der Bayerischen Universitäten and leading courses like Angewandte Kryptologie and SmartCard Projektpraktikum.

Tempelmeier's research centers on optimizing and securing cryptographic implementations for embedded systems. Key areas include:

• Design of hardware APIs for lightweight cryptography
• Side-channel and fault-attack countermeasures
• Trusted hardware gateways for IoT devices
• Efficient benchmarking methodologies for cryptographic hardware

His publications demonstrate consistent focus on hardware vulnerabilities, cryptographic efficiency, and standardized evaluation frameworks.

He maintains active involvement in tool development (e.g., MaskVer for detecting flawed masking implementations) and contributes to major projects like the Hardware API for Lightweight Cryptography. No awards or direct student supervision are mentioned in the provided text.
