Joan Daemen (Dutch pronunciation:[joːˈɑnˈdaːmə(n)]; born 1965) is aBelgiancryptographer who is currentlyprofessor of digital security (symmetric encryption) atRadboud University.[1] He co-designed withVincent Rijmen theRijndael cipher, which was selected as theAdvanced Encryption Standard (AES) in 2001.[2] More recently, he co-designed theKeccak cryptographic hash, which wasselected as the newSHA-3 hash byNIST in October 2012.[3] He has also designed or co-designed theMMB,Square,SHARK,NOEKEON,3-Way, andBaseKingblock ciphers. In 2017 he won theLevchin Prize for Real World Cryptography "for the development of AES and SHA3".[4] He describes his development of encryption algorithms as creating the bricks which are needed to build the secure foundations online.[5]
In 1988, Daemen graduated in electro-mechanicalengineering at theKatholieke Universiteit Leuven. He subsequently joined theCOSIC research group, and has worked on the design andcryptanalysis ofblock ciphers,stream ciphers andcryptographic hash functions. Daemen completed his PhD in 1995, at which point he worked for a year atJanssen Pharmaceutica inBeerse,Belgium. He subsequently worked at theBACOB bank,Banksys,Proton World and thenSTMicroelectronics.
