Dr. Andy RUPP

Andy Rupp is a research scientist at the University of Luxembourg. He is the Head of the Research Group Cryptographic Protocols (CPRO) at the Department of Computer Science (DCS). He is also the Co-Director of the Master in Cybersecurity and Cyber Defence and a Principal Investigator at the KASTEL Security Research Labs, Germany.

In today’s increasingly digital society, our research addresses pressing challenges in privacy and data protection through the development of practical, privacy-preserving cryptographic protocols. Our focus lies in designing and analyzing solutions that reconcile privacy with other often conflicting requirements critical for real-world deployment and combines rigorous formalism with practical applicability. This includes addressing challenges not only related to efficiency and scalability but also to advanced requirements such as lawful interception, anti-money laundering, fraud detection, and user data analytics. Our findings are frequently published at top-tier conferences and receive considerable media attention.

Between 2019 and 2022, Andy Rupp was the Deputy Head of SECAN Lab at the University of Luxembourg. Before joining the University of Luxembourg in 2019, he led an independent Junior Research Group at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany.

Andy Rupp holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science (Dipl.-Inf.) from Saarland University, Germany, and PhD degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Sciences (Dr.-Ing.) from Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany.
