Luca Allodi is an Assistant Professor at the faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Eindhoven University of Technology. He obtained his PhD from the University of Trento, Italy, on vulnerability risk management with a Best Thesis award. Luca’s research focuses at economic aspects of IT risk, and in particular on the relation between attacker economics, cybercrime activities, and attack realization. Luca has multiple publications in top academic and industry venues, including ACM TISSEC, Risk Analysis, ACM CCS, and BlackHat, and has served as invited reviewer for multiple top-tier journals. Luca is the only academic authoring member (next to CMU) of the NIST worldwide standard for vulnerability measurement (CVSS), and the only European representative in the standard body.

Simona Samardjiska is an assistant professor at the Digital Security Group at Radboud University, The Netherlands. Her expertise and research interests are in the mathematics of post-quantum cryptography, especially multivariate and code-based cryptography. She has been actively involved in the current NIST standardization process |

Andreas Hulsing is an assistant professor in the Coding Theory and Cryptology group at TU Eindhoven. His research focuses on post-quantum cryptography – cryptography that resists quantum computer-aided attacks. His works range from theoretical works, like how to model quantum attacks or formal security arguments in post-quantum security models, to applied works, like the analysis of side-channel attacks or the development of efficient hash-based signature schemes. In many of his works he tries to combine the theoretical and the applied perspective. This is especially reflected in his work on standardizing post-quantum cryptography. Before his current position, Dr. Hulsing was a postdoctoral researcher in the Coding Theory and Cryptology group, working with Tanja Lange in the PQCRYPTO project. Before he was a postdoctoral researcher in the cryptographic implementations group at TU Eindhoven, working with Daniel J. Bernstein. He did his PhD in the cryptography and computer algebra group at TU Darmstadt under the supervision of Johannes Buchmann. Before starting his PhD, he worked as a research fellow at Fraunhofer SIT in Darmstadt. He holds a Diploma in computer science from TU Darmstadt. Webpage: http://huelsing.net/ |

Jair Santanna is an assistant professor in the faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) at University of Twente (NL). In 2010, he graduated in computer engineer from Federal University of Pará (BR). In 2017, he received a Ph.D. from the University of Twente (NL). A number of solutions proposed in his Ph.D. thesis were deployed by network operators worldwide and some methodologies are used by the Dutch High Tech Crime Unit. During his Ph.D., he also acted as technical advisor to the Dutch National Cyber Security Center and to the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. DDoS attacks and multi-disciplinary data-driven research for cyber security are his main fields of interest. Besides his researching career, in less than six months as assistant professor (2018), he was voted by students as one of the best lectures of the EEMCS faculty. He also won (2018) the regional and national competition for the best science communicator (FameLab).

Currently, I am an associate professor of privacy enhancing technologies and identity management at the Radboud University Nijmegen, working for the iHub, the interdisciplinary research hub on Security, Privacy, and Data Governance. I am also an associate professor in the IT Law section of the Faculty of Law of the University of Groningen. Moreover, I am principal scientist (and a former scientific director and co-founder) of the Privacy & Identity Lab, and member of The Internet of People. I used to be a columnist for the Financieele Dagblad (FD, a major Dutch newspaper), a regular guest on the Dutch national radio news show Nieuws en Co, a member of the Executive Board of Trust in Digital Life, chair of the IFIP working group 11.2 on "Pervasive System Security", and coordinator of the Kerckhoffs Institutethat offered a master programme in Computer Security, among others. In my free time I enjoy making my own music, designing visuals, and practice Okinawan Goju Ryu karate-do. |

Fatih Turkmen is an Assistant Professor at the University of Groningen since 2019. His research interests include access control, formal/empirical methods for security analysis and security/privacy of machine learning. He has broad experience in the design and development of security infrastructures related to authentication and authorisation when accessing sensitive data or services. In recent years, he developed an interest in genomic data privacy trying to answer questions like: "How do we ensure the protection of genomic data once it starts being used on a daily basis?". The research in this area involves the use of privacy-enhancing technologies and machine learning. He has been involved in various international projects (e.g. EU Cyclone) related to these topics, is one of the workshops chairs of SecureComm'22 conference and is an active member of respective national (e.g. Dutch AVR challenge) and international communities.
