To get an idea what our thesis topics can be about, check out currently running and finished theses.
Master Thesis
Privacy has become a crucial topic that nowadays is addressed in a wide range of domains outside of cryptography. It has been shown that such research proposing non-standard secure computation constructions can be seriously flawed, as fundamental impossibility results were not considered. This thesis aims at surveying the literature for such cases, identifying misuse of secure computation, and proposing specific attacks and, if possible, fixes.
Bachelor Thesis, Master Thesis
This thesis should design, implement, and benchmark privacy-preserving protocols for an application in the medical area.
Bachelor Thesis, Master Thesis
This thesis should investigate and improve the efficiency of state-of-the-art privacy-preserving neural network training leveraging trusted execution environments (TEEs).
Bachelor Thesis, Master Thesis
This thesis should investigate and improve the state-of-the-art in privacy-preserving clustering by designing a highly efficient and practical private clustering scheme that achieves good clustering quality.
