Philipp Jovanovic finished his PhD in the field of symmetric cryptology at theUniversity of Passau, Germany, in 2015. In his thesis "Analysis and Design ofSymmetric Cryptographic Algorithms" he investigates fault-based attacks onvarious block ciphers and presents NORX a novel authenticated encryptionscheme which is a second round candidate in the still ongoing CAESARcompetition. After his graduation, Philipp became a post-doc at the SwissFederal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, where hecurrently works at the Decentralized and Distributed Systems (DeDiS) Lab onscalable cryptographic protocols and their applications in the areas ofInternet PKI, software deployment, generation of public randomness,blockchains, etc. He is also a regular speaker at academic and non-academicconferences, and presented, amongst others, at the Chaos CommunicationCongress, ESORICS, and FSE.
