Aysajan Abidin, PhD

I did my PhD in Information Coding at Electrical Engineering Department at Linköping University, Sweden, under Jan-Åke Larsson's supervision. My doctoral research focused on security analysis and proof of authentication used in quantum key distribution and on Universal hash functions.
