Björn Tackmann

I'm a cryptographer. My research focuses on provable security in secure communications.

I moved to IBM Research – Zurich, with my new website available here.

Timeline

Year Activity
2015 Ongoing: Postdoc with Mihir Bellare at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at UC San Diego.
2014 Ph.D. thesis on "A Theory of Secure Communication" with Ueli Maurer at ETH Zürich (co-advised by Mihir Bellare and Adrian Perrig).
2008 Master's thesis on "Security Properties and Mathematical Foundations of Key Agreement Protocols" Master's with Jörn Müller-Quade and Stefan Kühnlein at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

Please find my full C.V. in this pdf.
