2026 - 2028
Description
The project has three main objectives. The primary aim is to investigate the feasibility of adversarial attacks on malware detection models and to develop advanced defense mechanisms that ensure high detection reliability even in the presence of active adversarial threats. The second objective focuses on the transition to post-quantum cryptography, a critical topic given the rapid development of quantum computers. The third objective is to investigate the use of weak pseudorandom functions in secure cryptographic protocols; the research will also address the security, testing, and vulnerability analysis of physically unclonable functions (PUFs) and true random number generators (TRNGs).

Description
The project has three main goals. The first goal deals with malware detection using machine learning. The focus will be on problems of malware classification and creating and defending against adversarial samples. The second goal belongs to the field of cryptanalysis of ciphers using side channels. The research will focus on ciphers that have made it to the finals of the post-quantum cipher competition organized by NIST. The last goal will be to systematically describe blockers and barriers in deploying and using cryptographic tools.
