Aspiring cryptographer with expertise in quantum cryptanalysis.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and passionate student currently pursuing a BS-MS Dual Degree at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research. My academic journey has been marked by a strong focus on mathematics and cryptography, culminating in significant research experiences that have honed my analytical and problem-solving skills. I have been fortunate to receive the INSPIRE Fellowship, which recognizes my potential among a vast pool of candidates.
My research work includes a thesis on cryptanalysis of symmetric key ciphers in the quantum realm, where I developed a quantum biclique attack on AES-128 using Grover’s algorithm. This innovative approach not only enhanced key search efficiency but also contributed to the ongoing discourse on post-quantum cryptography. I have also engaged in various projects that explore the intricacies of cipher analysis, including the implementation of cryptanalytic techniques on multiple ciphers, which has deepened my understanding of the field.
