Although not anymore directly involved with IAIK, our alumni definitely deserve credit. They all have moved on with their career and went for other challenges. We are grateful for their contribution to IAIK's success.
Florian Mendel (ALUMNI)
Curriculum vitae
Florian Mendel received a master's degree of technical mathematics from Graz University of Technology, Austria in 2005. Subsequently, he became a Ph.D. student at the Institute of Applied Information Processing and Communications (IAIK) at the same university, where he joined the Krypto Group led by Prof. Dr. Vincent Rijmen. In 2010, he finished his doctoral dissertation on the analysis of cryptographic hash functions under the supervision of Prof. Rijmen. At the moment, he continues his research activities within the IAIK Krypto Group which include the design and analysis of cryptographic primitives with a strong focus on the cryptanalysis of hash functions.
Check out the SHA-3 Zoo for information on the SHA-3 hash function competition, and take a look at Grøstl, our SHA-3 submission.
