Background

About Robert Primas

Research Scientist at Intel Labs |(Post-quantum) Cryptography | Hardware Design | Side-Channel Analysis | I currently work as a research scientist for Intel Labs. Before that, I completed a Ph.D. and Master's study in Computer Science at Graz University of Technology. My research interests include practical and theoretical aspects of information security. On the practical side, I work on designing and attacking implementations of symmetric/post-quantum cryptography in hardware/software that come with protection mechanisms against physical attacks such as power/fault analysis. On the more theoretical side, I work on designing and analyzing cryptographic modes that provide high resistance against physical attacks or the formal verification of algorithmic countermeasures against physical attacks. I am a co-author of ISAP, a lightweight authenticated encryption scheme that gives strong guarantees against various kinds of physical attacks based on fault injection and power analysis. ISAP reached the final round of the NIST standardization process for lightweight cryptography. Personal research website: https://rprimas.github.io List of my publications: & hl=en & oi=ao
