Dr. Velichkov's area of research is symmetric-key cryptography. He is interested in techniques for cryptanalysis of block ciphers and in tools for automated cryptanalysis. A large part of his research has been dedicated to the analysis of a special class of cryptographic algorithms based on the operations modular addition, bitwise rotation and XOR (ARX). Vesselin Velichkov is broadly interested in all aspects of applied cryptography.
