Nilanjan Datta

Myself Nilanjan Datta, a Ph.D. student (currently holding the position of Senior Research Fellow) under the guidance of Dr. Mridul Nandi, at Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India. I have done my B.Tech and M.Tech in computer science from WBUT and Indian Statistical Institute respectively. My research interest is design and analysis of symmetric key cryptographic primitives. In a joint work with Dr. Mridul Nandi, we have designed ELmD Authenticated Encryption scheme and submitted the scheme to the CAESAR competition, which has been selected for the second round. I have also worked on interesting symmetric key problems like EME with linear mixing, weaker assumptions on PMAC, designing one-key beyond birthday secure MAC, WCR-MAC-PRF equivalence of block-cipher based ADE constructions.
