About

Hello, my name is Michael Zohner. I'm working as a full-time professor in IT Security at Hochschule Fulda.

I did my Ph.D. in IT Security at the Department of Computer Science at Technische Universität Darmstadt where I was part of the Engineering Cryptographic Protocols (ENCRYPTO) group which focuses on tools for the development of efficient privacy-preserving protocols.

Before joining the ENCRYPTO group, I was part of the Integrated Circuits and Systems Lab (ISS) at TU Darmstadt and the CASCADE research group where I worked in the area of side-channel analysis.

During my Ph. D., I contributed to various research projects such as:

• The Center for Advanced Security Research (CASED)

• The European Center for Security and Privacy by Design (EC SPRIDE)

• The Collaborative Research Center CROSSING

• The Center for Research in Security and Privacy (CRISP)

• My own Software Campus Project on the topic of Private Set Intersection

My main research interests are:

• cryptographic protocols

• secure function evaluation

• side-channel attacks and countermeasures

• machine learning
