Researcher
Håvard Raddum serves as Chief Research Scientist in the Department of Cryptography at Simula UiB, a joint research entity of Simula Research Laboratory and the University of Bergen. His primary focus involves advancing cryptographic security through algorithm analysis, Fully Homomorphic Encryption applications, and hardware-level attack mitigation. Raddum's research spans cryptography with specialization in security analysis of cryptographic algorithms, practical deployment of Fully Homomorphic Encryption, and physical attacks on hardware implementations. His work addresses vulnerabilities in symmetric ciphers, multivariate schemes, and lattice-based systems through algebraic cryptanalysis, side-channel techniques, and theoretical security proofs. Analysis of his 2019-2025 publications reveals concentrated expertise in cryptanalysis across diverse primitives. Key trends include algebraic attacks on arithmetization-oriented cryptography, side-channel analysis of lightweight ciphers, error detection in lattice computations, and security evaluations of Fully Homomorphic Encryption. His research consistently bridges theoretical frameworks with practical implementation vulnerabilities.
