As a PhD Candidate with us, you will work to achieve your doctorate, and at the same time gain valuable experience that qualifies you for a further career in higher education and research, in and outside academia. The main objectives of the PhD project is to evaluate the exact security of current wallet designs to establish a baseline, develop quantum-safe, verifiable, privacy-preserving credentials, with post-quantum and hybrid constructions and accompanying formal security proofs, in such a way that we realize the principles for built-in privacy in wallet protocols, including selective disclosure, pseudonymization and minimal data sharing. We expect to use lattice-based cryptography for our designs. Close cooperation with the other PhD candidates in the project will be needed to achieve the project goals. Your immediate leader will be the Head of Department. About the project The position is part of the project Cryptology and social life: Sovereignty, security and society meet digital wallets , funded by NTNU. The overall project goal is to develop knowledge, methodologies and competencies that strengthen Norway's ability to deploy and maintain secure, privacy-preserving and democratically aligned digital identity wallets. The challenges are interdisciplinary, cutting across issues of digital sovereignty, identity management and security technologies. This project will strengthen Norway's societal resilience by treating digital id
