Markku-Juhani Saarinen
About me
I started as a cryptographer at SSH Communications Security in 1997 and I am still on that path. I have also worked in more general technical information security consulting and security assessment roles. I did my Ph.D. in the United Kingdom (ISG, Royal Holloway, University of London in 2009).
Responsibilities
In addition to regular academic tasks (research activities, teaching, supervision of theses, subject matter expert roles), a Professor of Practice in Information Security helps the university and its students to meet the evolving requirements of industry, businesses, and the state and acts as a technical contact person in research projects and curriculum development.
Fields of expertise
My core competencies are in applied cryptography, cryptographic engineering, and security assessments (including cryptanalysis.)
