Description of the research topic:

Syllabus
A cryptographic protocol is a distributed algorithm describing precisely the interactions between two or more entities, achieving certain security objectives. Protocols applied for securing cloud computing, e-commerce, IoT technologies or general authentication and key agreement protocols are studied. Designing cryptographic protocols for use in the real world is a challenging task, requiring a fine balance between practicality and security. Ad hoc constructions are often broken, formal security proofs are needed. Whilst the theory and design of cryptographic primitives and schemes is relatively well established, the same cannot be said for protocols, Understanding security properties of the protocols, designing them and verifying that they are secure as long as the underlying cryptographic components are secure are covered.
