Tanja Lange

Tanja Lange (* 1975 in Bad Gandersheim ) is a German mathematician and university professor . She is known for her research on post-quantum cryptography .

Life

Lange studied mathematics at the Technical University of Braunschweig and received his diploma in 1998 . She then did her doctorate in 2001 at the University of Duisburg-Essen with Gerhard Frey (mathematician) with the dissertation Efficient Arithmetic on Hyperelliptic Curves . After a postdoctoral degree at the Ruhr University Bochum , she became an associate professor at the Technical University of Denmark in 2005 and a full professor at the Technical University of Eindhoven in 2007 .

Research and Impact

She heads the group for coding theory and cryptology in Eindhoven and is the scientific director of the Eindhoven Institute for the Protection of Systems and Information. She coordinates PQCRYPTO, a European inter-university consortium that makes electronic communication future-proof against threats such as quantum factorization. Together with Daniel J. Bernstein and Peter Schwabe, she developed the NaCl cryptography software , which was published in 2008.
