Interests

At university times, I was working in Numerical Analysis and was especially interested in

• shape preserving spline approximation,
• numerical methods for nonlinear least squares problems,
• and numerical methods of optimization.

After university I moved to Research and Development in the IT-security area, first to Siemens Corporate Technology. I was a member of the departments Competence Center of Cryptography. My special interests are

• public key cryptography using elliptic curves,
• side channel attacks and countermeasures,
• secure and efficient implementations of cryptographic algorithms,
• smart cards and embedded systems,
• design of secure systems, security engineering,
• and security in the automotive industry.

If your are interested in Side Channel Attacks please read
DPA-Analyse von Implementierungen symmetrischer kryptographischer Algorithmen [pdf-file, 4.52 Mbyte],
Diplomarbeit, TU München, 2005 by Hermann Seuschek.

In May 2007, after 7.5 years with Siemens Corporate Technology, I moved to Bosch Corporate Research. I am still working on Embedded Security and Cryptography, of course now with a focus on the automotive industry.

One of the recent results finished in June 2009 under my supervision is a Master Thesis by Andreas Hoheisel, Ruhr University Bochum, Chair of Embedded Security with the title
Side-Channel Analysis Resistant Implementation of AES on Automotive Processors [pdf-file, 1.08 Mbyte].

If you are interested in the sad State of the Art in Automotive Security, have a look at Hovav Shachams invited talk at CHES 2010: Cars and Voting machines: Embedded Systems in the Field.

In October 2010, I returned to real crypto, i.e., crypto technology for mission critical environments at Rohde & Schwarz SIT GmbH.
