Summary
Florentin Putz is a research-focused software engineer with nine years of experience building and evaluating secure authentication and device pairing systems at TU Darmstadt's SEEMOO lab. His work bridges applied security research and hands-on engineering, from FIDO2/WebAuthn implementation to reverse engineering WiFi firmware and Android NDK development. He investigates usable security and novel trust-establishment channels such as short-range acoustic communication, combining human-computer interaction insights with low-level signal and SDR/FPGA expertise. As a PhD candidate, he pairs rigorous experimentation with practical tool-building, demonstrated by prior router porting to OpenWRT and signal-processing lab instruction. Based in Darmstadt, he brings a rare mix of protocol security depth and embedded-systems pragmatism, with a strong academic record from TU Darmstadt and a visiting stint at UBC.
