Cryptography & Steganography Lab

The Cryptography & Steganography Research Group at Air University Islamabad is a research group developing sound mathematical foundations for applications requiring security. The lab, headed by Mr. Khwaja Mansoor ul Hassan at the department of Cyber Security, encompasses Bachelor, Masters and Ph.D. students from the Department of Cyber Security.

The aim of establishing this platform is to execute top notch academic research in the field of theoretical and applied Cryptography, and to provide rigorous training to give next generation crypto experts an opportunity to expand their skills and polish their expertise in the respective fields. Furthermore, we intend to reach out to out-station folks willing to excel in cryptography
