For our Institute of Communications und Navigation, Department Satellite Networks in Oberpfaffenhofen in Oberpfaffenhofen we are looking for a

Security Analysis of Quantum-Resistant Cryptosystems

What to expect:

• Your mission is to identify and analyze quantum-resistant encryption and authentication schemes that are suitable for applications in future cellular networks such as 5G/6G. This includes the analysis of quantum-resistant methods for securing 5G/6G networks with non-terrestrial components.
• You will also pay special attention to cryptographic primitives that are currently in the NIST standardization process for quantum-resistant encryption and authentication schemes or that are recommended in recommendations for action by national security institutions such as the German Federal Office for Security (BSI).
• Furthermore, you will consider the integration of the identified quantum-resistant cryptographic primitives into secure network protocols such as IKEv2 and analyze their performance with regard to various performance metrics. This requires the development of suitable test environments.
• The publication of your research in journals and at conferences as well as the concrete implementation in national and international projects complete your scope of duties.

What we expect from you:

What we offer:

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.
