We are offering a research-driven security internship for students who enjoy solving complex technical problems and want to gain hands-on experience in cryptography, high-performance computing, and hardware security. During this internship, you will work closely with experienced researchers and engineers on real security research topics , combining theoretical foundations with practical experimentation and development . The focus is on understanding how cryptographic implementations behave under stress — and how they can be improved. On a day-to-day basis, you will write code, run experiments, discuss ideas with your mentor, and turn technical findings into clear results . You don’t need to be an expert in everything on day one — strong fundamentals, curiosity, and motivation to learn matter most. The internship can be completed as a minimum 3-month placement or extended into a 6-month thesis project , depending on academic requirements. What we offer: * Paid internship , with travel allowance * Work laptop (for interns based in the Netherlands) * Access to Keysight equipment , depending on the topic * Lunch at work and participation in the Intern Quarter of the Year program You might enjoy this internship if you like figuring out how systems work under the hood , enjoy experimenting with code and learning by doing, and prefer open-ended technical challenges over predefined instructions. Technical focus: Fault Injection attacks on SLH-DSA (post-quantum digital signatures).
