One pillar of current research work with KIT focuses on cryptographic mechanisms that avoid an idealized representation of hash functions with the emphasis on so called "real-world" applications. Further focuses are the application of post-quantum cryptography, the challenges of migration and side-channel attacks, as well as the corresponding countermeasures.
