PhD Student in Cybersecurity Specialization 6G and Satellite Communication
We are looking for a motivated and innovative PhD student to join our research team to develop groundbreaking solutions that integrate 6G and satellite communications in a secure way. More specifically, the work involves developing independent authentication services for large-scale systems that enable the transition from today's symmetric to asymmetric crypto solutions of the future. The idea is to create a quantum-safe, efficient and automated PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) for the future 6G-NTN where trade-offs around flexibility, scalability, autonomy and optimization are made with respect to the fact that the systems will execute in space. In addition, work is planned in path-aware networking so that traffic avoids nodes or links that are not secure and the development of new secure communication protocols for 6G-NTN where handover between land-based systems and satellite systems takes place securely.
Qualifications
We are looking for analytic and motivated colleagues that can perform advanced research, both independently and in cooperation with the rest of the team. The necessary background for applicants is a master degree in Computer Science or equivalent. The applicant must be proficient in software development and computer science and be fluent in oral and written English. Specific depth in mathematics, computer security or encryption is valuable but not a requirement. It is an advantage if you have previous experience from research and publication.
