About me
I started my work at Aalto University in August 2011 as a doctoral student in the cryptography group led by Prof. Kaisa Nyberg. I graduated on 30 January 2015 with GPA 4.86. I no longer work at Aalto University.
Research
My primary research goal was to develop cryptanalysis methods for determining the exact security level of some inventive and unconventional designs for lightweight block ciphers. In particular, we carried out statistical and structural analysis on well-known lightweight block ciphers: LBlock, TWINE, ITUbee, Zorro and LED. We also provide new security criteria for PRINCE-like cipher. My dissertation can be found here.
