Tommaso Gagliardoni

Tommaso Gagliardoni, PhD, is an Italian cryptographer, mathematician, and quantum security researcher. He obtained a degree in Mathematics at the University of Perugia, Italy, and a PhD at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany, with a dissertation on the quantum security of cryptographic primitives. He worked at IBM Research Zurich with famed cryptographer Dr. Jan Camenisch, and then joined American-Swiss cybersecurity company Kudelski Security. Tommaso published many influential peer-reviewed academic papers in the areas of cryptography, quantum computing, security and privacy, and spoke at many international conferences in these fields. He is known, among other achievements, for his collaborations in solving the longstanding problem of adaptive quantum authentication (EUROCRYPT 2018, TQC 2019) and breaking the security of ISO-standard smart card protocol PLAID (Real World Crypto 2015, SSR 2015).
