Summary
Miguel Quaresma is a security and cryptography researcher and engineer with a decade of experience, currently working at Least Authority while pursuing a Ph.D. at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy. He focuses on high-performance, high-assurance post-quantum cryptography and the formal modelling and verification of cryptographic implementations, bringing academic rigor to practical engineering problems. Based in Bochum, Germany, he combines low-level optimization skills with formal methods to make PQC implementations both fast and auditable. Miguel’s work bridges research and real-world deployment, emphasizing verifiable correctness in cryptography—a detail that often separates prototypes from production-ready systems. He is accustomed to operating at the intersection of theory and practice, pushing cryptographic primitives toward secure, high-performance adoption.
