PhD position: FORWARDT (Cybersecurity) at TU/e 1115 views

The section Cybersecurity, department Mathematics & Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) has an opening for a PhD student.

About the project & position:

• The FORWARDT project aims to improve the resilience of audio-video watermarks against so-called collusion attacks, where multiple attackers hold differently watermarked versions of the same content.
• The focus in particular is on the challenges in real-world content delivery systems, e.g. multi-channel attacks and dynamic tracing.
• The task of the PhD student will be to (i) design dynamic tracing algorithms to counter multi-channel attacks; (ii) attack and analyze these algorithms; (iii) try out untested approaches such as machine learning and countermeasures at the embedding layer.

Requirements

• Applicant must hold Master’s Mathematics, Computer Science, Theoretical Physics or a related discipline.
• Affinity with probabilistic methods; good communicative skills in English, both written and oral.

Applications:

Apply online and the application should consist of the following parts:

• A motivation letter;
• A Curriculum Vitae;
• Copies of diplomas and a list of grades of your studies;
