The cryptography group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) works on theoretical and practical aspect of cryptography. We're located in the Vienna woods.
The group leader is Krzysztof Pietrzak.
We are part of SPyCoDe (Semantic and Cryptographic Foundations of Security and Privacy by Compositional Design), a special research programme that takes a comprehensive approach to security and privacy of IT architectures by focussing on cross-layer interfaces.
Our research was supported by the ERC starting grant Provable security for physical cryptography and the ERC consolidator grant Teaching Old Crypto New Tricks
