Peter Y A RYAN

Prof. Peter Y A Ryan is a Full Professor in Computer Science and Communication (Applied Security) at the University of Luxembourg's Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine, within the Department of Computer Science. His research focuses on cryptography, information security, and secure voting systems, emphasizing verifiability, privacy, and coercion resistance in e-voting. He leads projects on post-quantum cryptography, lightweight security protocols for IoT, and DNA-based data preservation.

Key research areas include:

• Cryptography: Post-quantum algorithms, secure key exchange, and cryptographic protocol design
• E-Voting Systems: End-to-end verifiability, coercion mitigation, and usability studies
• Security Foundations: Privacy-preserving technologies, formal verification, and ransomware prevention

His recent work explores:

• Hyperion/Selene voting systems with transparent verifiability
• X2065 and AVRNTRU protocols for constrained IoT devices
• Optical unclonable tags for artifact authentication

Publications span 2020–2024, addressing topics like quantum-resistant cryptography, e-voting usability, and ransomware mitigation strategies. He contributes to international conferences such as E-Vote-ID and SECITC.
