Cryptographic Systems Expert
Tetrad Digital Integrity (TDI) is a leading-edge cybersecurity firm with a mission to safeguard and protect our customers from increasing threats and vulnerabilities in this digital age.
We are seeking a highly skilled and knowledgeable Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Evaluation Expert to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for creating and evaluating question-answer pairs to assess the understanding and application of post-quantum cryptography concepts by test subjects. This role requires a deep understanding of cryptographic principles, particularly in the context of quantum computing, and the ability to craft scenarios that test the test subject's ability to provide accurate and forward-thinking cryptographic advice. This is a remote role.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Develop comprehensive question and answer pairs that assess the test subject’s understanding of post-quantum cryptography concepts.
• Evaluate the quantum resistance of classical and post-quantum algorithms presented by the test subject.
• Suggest appropriate quantum-safe alternatives for various cryptographic scenarios.
• Analyze and explain the implications of quantum computing on current cryptographic standards.
• Assess the test subject’s ability to reason about future attack scenarios and the trade-offs involved in PQC implementations.
QUALIFICATIONS:
• Advanced degree in Mathematics, Cryptography, Computer Science or a related field.
• 5+ years in applied cryptography with a specific focus on the theoretical vulnerabilities of public-key infrastructure in the context of quantum computing.
• Knowledge of cryptographic libraries and tools such as OpenSSL, Libsodium, or similar.
• Familiarity with programming languages commonly used in cryptography, such as Python, C/C++, or Java.
• Understanding of quantum computing principles and their impact on cryptography.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
• Extensive knowledge of cryptographic principles, with a focus on post-quantum cryptography.
• Familiarity with quantum-resistant algorithms such as lattice-based, hash-based, code-based, and multivariate polynomial cryptography.
• Experience with cryptographic standards and protocols, including NIST's post-quantum cryptography standardization efforts.
• Ability to reason about and articulate the trade-offs and implications of different cryptographic approaches in a post-quantum world.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate complex cryptographic scenarios.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical concepts.
• Familiarity with cryptographic software and tools used in the evaluation and implementation of PQC.
• Participation in cryptographic research or contributions to academic publications in the field of post-quantum cryptography.
