Keynote speakers
Peter Y A RYAN trained as a theoretical physicist and holds a PhD in mathematical physics from the University of London. Prior to the University of Luxembourg, he worked at GCHQ and CESG, DRA Malvern, SRI Cambridge, CMU Pittsburg, and Newcastle University. In February of 2009, Peter Ryan took up a position as Professor of Information Security at the University of Luxembourg. He has over 20 years of experience in information assurance and formal verification. He pioneered the application of process algebras to modelling and analysis of secure systems and initiated and led the project that pioneered the application of process algebra and model-checking to the analysis of security protocols. The achievements of the project are gathered together in the book co-authored with Schneider, Lowe, Roscoe and Goldsmith: “Modelling and Analysis of Security Protocols”. He has published extensively on cryptography, cryptographic protocols, mathematical models of computer security and, most recently, high assurance voting systems. He is the (co-)creator of the Prêt à Voter, Pretty Good Democracy, OpenVote and Selene verifiable voting schemes. Title of the presentation: Designing Human-centric security protocols | |
Peter ROENNE received his PhD in theoretical physics in 2007 from the University of Copenhagen. He has international experience as a postdoctoral researcher in theoretical physics, string theory and mathematics at Desy, Hamburg, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, University of Cologne and University of Luxembourg. Peter changed to the field of cryptography and applied security in 2015 and joined INRIA, Nancy and he is currently research scientist at University of Luxembourg. His research is focused on cryptographic protocols with particular emphasis on secure and usable e-voting, post-quantum and quantum cryptography. He is general chair of the E-Vote-ID conference, co-chair of the Dagstuhl Seminar on trustworthy voting systems in 2025 , and he has been organisation chair of ESORICS 2019, ETAPS 2021 & 2024 as well as chairing several international workshops. | |
Carsten SCHÜRMANN is a professor in computer science at the IT University of Copenhagen, where he heads the Center for Information Security and Trust. His research focuses on election security. He consults with governmental and non-governmental organizations on Internet Voting. He has worked with the OSCE/ODIHR as a senior election expert and has been a member of several election observation missions, to Kenya 2017 (the Carter Center), USA 2018 (OSCE/ODIHR), and Estonia 2019 (OSCE/ODIHR). Prior to moving to Denmark, Carsten was a member of the computer science faculty at Yale University. He holds a PhD degree from Carnegie-Mellon University. Title of the presentation: Election Security |
