Boris Škorić

Boris Škorić is an Associate Professor in the Security of Embedded Systems (SEC) group at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. His research focuses on quantum cryptography, security with noisy data, and collusion-resistant watermarking. He is affiliated with the CREST project and has contributed to advancements in quantum-secure authentication and quantum key distribution protocols.

• Education: Ph.D. in Physics (Quantum Hall Effect), M.Sc. in Physics

His research interests span three core areas: (1) Security with noisy data, addressing challenges in cryptographic primitives using physical measurements; (2) Quantum physics for security, including quantum readout of Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) and quantum key recycling; and (3) Collusion-resistant watermarking codes for digital content protection. He has pioneered techniques such as quantum-secure authentication via laser speckle and error correction methods for secure key storage.

His publications reflect a strong emphasis on quantum security, including developments in continuous-variable quantum key distribution, entropically secure encryption, and quantum position verification. Recent work explores applications in healthcare data protection and secure communication over turbulent optical channels.

Grants & Labs: Active in the CREST project (Collusion-Resistant Embedding and Secure Tracing) and collaborates with industry on quantum-secure technologies. Leads research in the SEC group, mentoring projects on cryptographic protocols and embedded system security.
