Lorenz studied mathematics at EPFL, and obtained his diploma in March 2003, which was directed by Prof. Bayer.
Lorenz finished his PhD at LMA in July 2007. His work centered around attacks on various public-key crycptosystems based on error-correcting codes. He will be joining the faculty of Computer Science of UC Berkeley as a Post-Doc funded by the Swiss National Fund in February 2008.

- summary:
- Lorenz finished his PhD at ALGO in 2007 specializing in code-based cryptography. Specifically, he analyzed different families of algebraic codes for their structural security. For example, he discovered the first known effective attacks against the Sidelnikov-cryptosystem, and he generalized the Sidelnikov-Shestakov-attack on the Niederreiter-cryptosystem to apply also to algebraic-geometry codes based on elliptic curves.
