Prof. Dr. Werner Schindler

Prof. Dr. Werner Schindler works for the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI – Federal Office for Information Technology Security) in Bonn and represents the Federal Authority within the scope of its cooperation with CASED. He is also Professor in the Mathematics Department of the Darmstadt University of Technology.

Werner Schindler plays a key role in the “Secure Things” area at CASED, and is currently establishing a workgroup that will deal with the further development of side channel analyses and the design of side channel-resistant implementations. His key areas of responsibility at the BSI include the analysis and assessment of cryptographic algorithms and protocols as well as IT systems with cryptographic components.

He produces regular professional reports for judicial proceedings dealing with the misuse of EC cards and credit cards via ATMS, and has a wealth of experience in the performance of security analyses for electronic payment systems.

With regards to the scientific aspects of cryptography and IT security, Werner Schindler deals primarily with side channel attacks, the analysis of physical random number generators and Hash functions.

His previous fields of research include measurement and integration theory as well as stochastic simulations.
