Konstantinos Limniotis is an ICT Specialist at the Hellenic Data Protection Authority since 2009 and an active academic teaching at multiple Greek and Cypriot universities. He is currently teaching 'Network and Telecommunications Systems Security' at the University of Athens, 'Cryptography' and 'Security risk management' at the Open University of Cyprus, and has previously taught at the University of Peloponnese, Harokopio University of Athens, and Technological Educational Institutes. Since 2022, he is a member of ENISA's Ad Hoc Working Group on Data Protection Engineering. Dr. Limniotis received his B.Sc. in computer science (1999), M.Sc. in communications systems and networks (2002), and Ph.D. in 'Signal Processing Techniques in Cryptography' (2007) from the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, under the supervision of Professor N. Kalouptsidis. His research focuses on the intersection of cryptography, security, and data protection. Dr. Limniotis has made significant contributions to cryptographic Boolean functions, particularly in algebraic immunity properties, and has extended his expertise to practical applications in data protection and privacy. His work bridges theoretical cryptography with real-world applications in personal data protection, particularly in the context of GDPR compliance. Recent research directions include post-quantum cryptography, blockchain security, and privacy-enhancing technologies for emerging applications like AI systems and IoT ecosystems. His publications demonstrate a clear trajectory from theoretical cryptographic research to applied security and privacy solutions that address contemporary regulatory and technological challenges. Dr. Limniotis has received multiple 'Excellence in Teaching' Awards from the Open University of Cyprus (2019-2023), recognizing his contributions to cybersecurity education. His teaching spans graduate programs in Computer and Network Security, Telecommunications Systems, and Data Science. As an active contributor to data protection policy, Dr. Limniotis has participated in multiple ENISA reports on pseudonymization techniques, data protection engineering, and personal data sharing. His work with the Hellenic Data Protection Authority since 2009 demonstrates a strong commitment to bridging academic research with practical data protection implementation.
