Education

In 1987, Preneel received a degree in Electrical Engineering from the Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven.[4]

In 1993, Preneel received a PhD in Applied Sciences from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.[5][4] His dissertation in computer science, entitled Analysis and Design of Cryptographic Hash Functions, was advised by Joos (Joseph) P. L. Vandewalle and René J. M. Govaerts.[5]

Career

Along with Shoji Miyaguchi, he independently invented the Miyaguchi–Preneel scheme,[6][7][8] a structure that converts a block cipher into a hash function, used eg. in the hash function Whirlpool.[9] He is one of the authors of the RIPEMD-160 hash function.[10] He was also a co-inventor of the stream cipher MUGI[11] which would later become a Japanese standard,[12][13] and of the stream cipher Trivium[14] which was a well-received[weasel words] entrant to the eSTREAM project.[15]

He has also contributed to the cryptanalysis of RC4,[16] SOBER-t32,[17] MacGuffin,[18] Helix,[19] Phelix,[20] Py,[21] TPypy,[22] the HAVAL cryptographic hash function,[23] and the SecurID hash function.[24]
