      With our research on cryptographic protocols, we aim to dissolve the tension between privacy protection and conflicting requirements of important application domains such as Future Mobility, Electronic Payments, and Digital Democracy. Our goals are not limited to efficiency and scalability but also include compliance with domain-specific laws, regulations, business models, etc. enabling a practical deployment in the first place. This entails a rich resource of foundational research challenges in cryptography and solutions with a significant practical impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
