استادیار
Kathrin Hövelmanns is a tenured Assistant Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Mathematics and Computer Science school, specializing in Applied and Provable Security. Her research addresses the threat of quantum computing to current cryptographic systems, focusing on post-quantum security mechanisms. She has contributed to the theoretical foundation of Kyber, a NIST-emerging standard for public-key encryption. PhD in Cryptology from Ruhr University Bochum BSc/MSc in Mathematics from University Duisburg Essen Mathematical-technical system engineer training at RWTH Aachen Her research integrates provable security and quantum information theory , with key contributions to cryptographic protocols like Authenticated Key Exchange , Re-encryption , and PAKE . Publications span post-quantum cryptography , security proofs , and quantum-resistant algorithms , reflecting collaborations with experts like Eike Kiltz and Andreas Hülsing. Recent work includes analyses of Quantum Key Distribution and public-key cryptosystems under quantum threats. Her research outputs emphasize password-based authentication , decryption security , and instantiation techniques . Scientific Awards : NWO Veni Grant (2023) Irène Curie Fellowship She serves on academic committees and contributes to cryptography education, teaching Linear Algebra 2 at TU/e. Her work bridges theoretical cryptography with real-world applications, addressing challenges in e-government, secure communications, and military/industrial data protection.
