in the United States. He participated in cryptanalysis of RC4
, Helix and Py family of ciphers
among others.
He has co-designed the following ciphers
He also contributed to the design of a hash function iteration mode of operation Fast-widepipe. While working at NIST
Dr. Paul has worked towards the development of US government secure hash standard SHA3 being selected through a public competition.
