Lilya Budaghyan (born January 29, 1976) is a Norwegian-Armenian cryptographer, computer scientist, and discrete mathematician known for her work on cryptographic Boolean functions. She is a professor at the Department of Informatics of the University of Bergen in Norway, [1] where she directs the Selmer Center in Secure Communication [2] and leads Boolean functions team. [3]
Budaghyan earned a diploma with honour in mathematics from Yerevan State University in 1998. After additional graduate research at Yerevan State University, she completed a PhD at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg in Germany in 2005. [4] Her PhD dissertation is The equivalence of almost bent and almost perfect nonlinear functions and their generalizations. [5]
After postdoctoral research at the University of Trento, Italy, the University of Bergen, and the University of Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis, she became a professor at the University of Bergen in 2019. [4]
Budaghyan is the author of the book Construction and Analysis of Cryptographic Functions (Springer, 2014). [6]
Budaghyan won the Emil Artin Junior Prize in Mathematics for outstanding contributions in algebra, geometry and number theory in 2011 for a joint paper with Tor Helleseth titled “New commutative semifields defined by new PN multinomials”. [7] [8] In 2022 another paper co-authored by Budaghyan led to Emil Artin Junior Prize "Relation between o-equivalence and EA-equivalence for Niho bent functions".[ citation needed ]
She is a member of the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences, [9] elected in 2019. [10]
