Stefan Lucks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stefan Lucks is a researcher in the fields of communications security and cryptography. Lucks is known for his attack on Triple DES, and for extending Lars Knudsen's Square attack to Twofish, a cipher outside the Square family, thus generalising the attack into integral cryptanalysis. He has also co-authored attacks on AES, LEVIATHAN, and the E0 cipher used in Bluetooth devices, as well as publishing strong password-based key agreement schemes. Lucks pursues research in cryptography at the University of Mannheim.
Lucks graduated from the Universität Dortmund in 1992, and received his PhD at the Georg-August-Universität, Göttingen in 1997.
