Prof. Mirosław Kutyłowski

Prof. Mirosław Kutyłowski works on privacy protection technologies and cryptography, taking into account issues of regulatory nature (ICT technology law) as well as algorithms for distributed systems. His particularly relevant areas of research are cryptographic protocols related to identification and authentication, implementing the principles of personal data protection and taking into account the technical conditions related to the realities of the devices used for identification. He also studies the possibilities inherent in malicious cryptography and the possibilities offered by anamorphic cryptography. He devoted much attention to anonymous communication protocols. Together with Israeli collaborators, he invented mathematical tools for estimating the level of anonymity offered by Onion Routing.

He graduated in foundations of mathematics in 1980, received his PhD and Habilitation (DSc) degrees from the University of Wrocław. In 1999, he received the Polish state title of professor in mathematical sciences.

Mirosław Kutyłowski was a doctoral student at the City University of New York, a Humboldt Foundation Fellow at Darmstadt University of Technology, a Hochschuledozent at the Heinz-Nixdorf Institute at Paderborn University, a visiting professor at the Mannheim University, Hua Shan Professor at Xidian University. From 2000 to 2023, he was a full professor at the Wrocław University of Technology, founder of the Computer Science & Algorithmics graduate program. In the period 1980-2000, with interrupt for activities abroad, he was affiliated Wrocław University, starting as an assistant and ending as an associate professor.

In 2023, prof. Mirosław Kutyłowski took the position of Head of the Department of Cryptology at NASK.
