معرفی
Prof. Dr. Daniel Slamanig is a Full Professor of Cryptology at the Universität der Bundeswehr München (UniBw M) in its Department of Computer Science and Research Institute Cyber Defense (CODE). He heads the Quantum Safe & Advanced Cryptography (QuSAC) Lab and focuses on the development of provably secure cryptographic primitives with applications to real-world security challenges.
Prof. Slamanig obtained his PhD in computer science from the University of Klagenfurt in 2011 (with distinction). Prior to his current position, he worked as a Scientist and then Senior Scientist at the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, and as a Senior Researcher and PostDoc at Graz University of Technology's IAIK.
Prof. Slamanig's research spans the foundations and applications of cryptography, with special focus on provably secure public-key cryptographic primitives (including digital signatures) with strong security guarantees against quantum attacks, and privacy-friendly cryptographic mechanisms such as zero-knowledge proofs. His work consistently emphasizes the connection between theoretical foundations and practical implementations, ensuring cryptographic solutions are both secure and applicable to real-world scenarios.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong emphasis on post-quantum cryptography (particularly isogeny-based approaches), privacy-preserving technologies, anonymous credentials, and structure-preserving cryptographic protocols. A notable contribution is his work on the Picnic family of post-quantum digital signature schemes, which reached the final round of NIST's post-quantum cryptography standardization project.
Prof. Slamanig has received several prestigious awards for his contributions to cryptography:
- "netidee SCIENCE" award of the Internet Foundation (2018)
- Best Paper Award at CANS 2021
- Top Reviewer Award at the 30th ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS 2023)
Prof. Slamanig actively mentors the next generation of cryptographers, currently supervising PhD students Thomas den Hollander, Sebastian Spindler, and several others. His research is supported by numerous grants from EU Horizon programs, including PiQASO, SUNRISE, and EDOCC, as well as national funding agencies like FFG. He serves on program committees for top cryptography conferences including CRYPTO, EUROCRYPT, and ACM CCS, and reviews for leading journals such as the Journal of Cryptology.
At Universität der Bundeswehr München, Prof. Slamanig leads the Quantum Safe & Advanced Cryptography (QuSAC) Lab within the Research Institute Cyber Defense (CODE), where his team works on cutting-edge research in post-quantum cryptography, privacy-enhancing technologies, and practical implementations of cryptographic protocols for real-world security challenges.
