  • Focus on developing and testing cryptographic solutions that address quantum-safe security challenges.
  • Stay informed about the latest advancements in post-quantum cryptography and contribute to projects aligned with NIST PQC standards and other emerging standards.
  • Explore novel cryptographic algorithms and protocols, particularly those resistant to quantum computing attacks.
Documentation & Knowledge Sharing
  • Document cryptographic research, experiments, and solutions for both internal and external audiences.
  • Contribute to the development of technical papers, reports, and publications that showcase the R&D team's progress and achievements.
  • Actively participate in knowledge sharing, helping to bridge academic research with commercial applications.
  • Share and discuss cutting-edge developments in quantum-safe security with the R&D team.
Engagement with Standards Authorities & Regulators
  • Work with standards authorities and regulators to validate and approve cryptographic solutions for various global markets.
  • Work with the team to ensure compliance with global cryptographic and security standards, including NIST, ISO, and regional regulatory requirements.
  • Contribute to testing, documentation, and certification processes required for regulatory approval of cryptographic systems.
Security & Compliance Contributions
  • Ensure that cryptographic implementations exceed industry security standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Design authentication, data protection, and key management solutions to ensure secure and compliant systems.
Skills & Qualifications
