Hello World! Also visit dhimans.in to know more about me.
I am an Assistant Professor at Department of CSE, IIT Bhilai. I love computer science and crypto. I mostly work in symmetric crypto particularly cryptanlaysis. Currently I am exploring the area of Lightweight Cryptography and Quantum Cryptanalysis. My research group focuses on various aspects of computer security and cryptography. The group can be reached at de.ci.phe.red.
Currently open positions at de.ci.phe.red LAB
