+Making security usable for IT professionals (developers, system administrators and such) that lack a specialized training in computer security. We focus on cryptographic interfaces (APIs) of developer tools and software libraries. A recent experiment on a developer conference tried to assess the usability of OpenSSL, a well-known and widely used cryptographic library. Based on the overall results, we deem the OpenSSL usability insufficient according to both user opinions and standardized measures.

+==== Randomness evaluation ====
+<TEXT size="large">
+Before coming to usable security I was interested in randomness testing and helped develop the [[https://github.com/crocs-muni/eacirc|EACirc project]], the automatic problem solver based on circuit-like representation and genetic programming.
+It can be utilized as randomness testing tool similar to statistical batteries (NIST STS, Dieaharder, TestU01), for instance for analysis of cryptographic function outputs. It uses supervised learning techniques based on metaheuristics to construct adapted distinguisher of two input data streams. The distinguisher can be represented as hardware-like circuits or algebraic polynomial.

+==== Teaching and supervision ====
+<TEXT size="large">
+I see deep meaning and responsibility in teaching and have been tutoring seminars and lecturing a few courses for more than 5 years.
+I participate in some security courses ([[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/PA193|Secure coding principles and practices]] and [[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/PV181|Laboratory of security and applied cryptography]]). More importantly, I am much engaged in the local community of student teachers and leading the [[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/DUCIT|Teaching Lab]] course.
-**Courses I teach**\\
+Finally, I am still very fond of functional programming (Haskell in particular) and have been teaching [[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/IB015|Non-Imperative Programming]] and [[https://is.muni.cz/predmet/fi/IB016|Seminar on Functional Programming]] for quite some time.
