Post-Doc-Position, PhD or Qualification Fellows at DFG Research Training Group

25.04.2012 - Thorsten Holz

The Horst Görtz Institute for IT-Security (HGI) at Ruhr-University Bochum is one of Europe's leading research centers in IT-security. The DFG, or German Research Foundation, awarded more than €4 million to the HGI for the establishment of the interdisciplinary research training group "New Challenges for Cryptography in Ubiquitous Computing". We are looking for candidates with outstanding PhD, Master/Diplom or Bachelor in the fields of electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics or related areas.

The research training group will study problems which are fundamental for securing the Internet of Things. The research is structured in three levels: cryptographic primitives, device and system level. The research topics range from cryptographic foundations such as fully homomorphic encryption for privacy in cloud computing, over security for medical implants to Internet security solutions involving new national ID cards. A central goal of the doctoral training is an interdisciplinary and structured education at the highest scientific level. Establishing networks to top internationally research groups is part of the training.

UCSB iCTF Write-Up

23.01.2012 - Thorsten Holz

The UCSB International Capture The Flag (also known as the iCTF) is a distributed, wide-area security exercise, whose goal is to test the security skills of the participants. The CTF competition is held once a year and a team from RUB called "FluxFingers" usually participates. This year, FluxFingers made the third place and won $500 - congratulations! A write-up about the iCTF from FluxFingers is now available.
