Daniel Slamanig

I am a Full Professor of Cryptology at the Universität der Bundeswehr München, where I am part of the Department of Computer Science and the Research Institute Cyber Defence (CODE). I head the Quantum Safe & Advanced Cryptography (QuSAC) Lab.

My research focuses on the design of provably secure and practical public-key cryptographic primitives and privacy-enhancing protocols. I am particularly interested in post-quantum cryptography, advanced signature schemes, anonymous credentials, zero-knowledge proofs, and their applications in privacy-preserving systems.

I am one of the designers of the Picnic family of post-quantum digital signature schemes, which reached the final round of NIST's initial post-quantum cryptography standardization project as an alternate candidate. Further information about my academic appointments, professional service, projects, teaching, and supervision is available on my Academic Profile.
