Souradyuti Paul is an Indian cryptologist (b. 1976). Formerly a member of COSIC, he is currently working as a Guest Researcher for the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the United States. He participated in cryptanalysis of RC4, Helix and Py family of ciphers among others. He has co-designed the following ciphers
He also contributed to the design of a hash function iteration mode of operation Fast-widepipe.[1] While working at NIST Dr. Paul has worked towards the development of US government secure hash standard SHA-3 being selected through a public competition.[2]
