Summary
Patroklos Argyroudis is a computer security researcher with 14+ years of hands-on experience in vulnerability research, exploit development, reverse engineering and source code auditing, currently leading research projects at CENSUS S.A. He holds a PhD and completed postdoctoral work in applied cryptography and electronic payments at Trinity College Dublin, combining academic rigor with practical attack-and-defend experience. His work includes discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities in widely used closed- and open-source software and designing secure payment protocol components early in his career. A frequent speaker at top security conferences (Black Hat, Infiltrate, CanSecWest, CCC, ZeroNights), he blends deep kernel and heap exploitation expertise with protocol-level cryptanalysis. Based in Greece, he brings a rare mix of research-grade cryptography, low-level systems exploitation, and production-focused engineering to complex security challenges.
