Martin Schläffer

Curriculum vitae

Martin Schläffer received his MSc degree (Dipl.-Ing.) in computer science at the Graz University of Technology, Austria in 2006. He is currently working on his PhD degree with Prof. Dr. Vincent Rijmen. As a member of the IAIK Krypto Group his research interests are the analysis, design and secure implementation of symmetric cryptographic algorithms. Currently, he is working on the design and cryptanalysis of hash functions.

Check out the SHA-3 Zoo for information on the SHA-3 hash function competition, or take a look at Grøstl, our SHA-3 submission.
