I'm very happy to announce I'll be starting a position as a Ph.D. researcher in Applied Cryptography at the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences of Radboud Universiteit in Nijmegen, starting in September this year. I'll be working with Lejla Batina as my supervisor, and Joan Daemen and Peter Schwabe as advisors. My topic is broadly "make tor's crypto better". More specifically, it's "make tor post-quantum"; beyond that, it could reasonably include working with other cryptographers to design some of the weirder constructions which tor needs, e.g. the 509-byte chained wide-block cipher that Nick's been going on about.
That is fantastic news! Huge congratulations! =)
