prof. dr hab. Mirosław Kutyłowski

He deals with privacy protection and cryptography technologies, taking into account regulatory issues (ICT technology law) and algorithms for distributed systems. A particularly intensive area of his research is cryptographic protocols for identification and authentication which implement principles of personal data protection and take account of technical conditions associated with the realities of identification devices. The second priority area is research on the possibilities inherent in hostile cryptography and the opportunities offered by anamorphic cryptography. He has also devoted much attention to communication protocols aimed at ensuring anonymous communication. Together with an Israeli group, he is a co-author of mathematical tools for estimating the level of anonymity offered by Onion Routing.

He completed his studies in the fundamentals of mathematics in 1980 and obtained his doctoral and habilitation degrees at the University of Wrocław. In 1999, he was awarded the title of professor in mathematical sciences.

He was a doctoral student at the City University of New York, a fellow of the Humboldt Foundation at the Technical University of Darmstadt, a docent at the Heinz-Nixdorf Institut at the University of Paderborn, a visiting professor at the University of Mannheim, and a Hua Shan Professor at Xidian University. From 2000 to 2023, he was a professor at the Wrocław University of Technology and a creator of the algorithmic computer science study programme. From 1980 to 2000, with breaks for foreign trips, he was a staff member of the University of Wrocław, starting from the position of assistant and ending with the position of associate professor.

In 2023, Prof. Mirosław Kutyłowski took the position of Head of the Cryptology Department at NASK.
