Ignacio Cascudo*

Cryptology Group

CWI Amsterdam

Contact Starting July 2010, I am a Scientific Staff Member (postdoc) at the Cryptology Group (PNA5) of the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), the national research center for mathematics and computer science in the Netherlands.
*Name: My full name is Ignacio Cascudo Pueyo. As Spaniard, I have two surnames, Cascudo coming from my father and Pueyo from my mother. Cascudo is therefore a surname and not a middle name, and I actually don't have a middle name. I have started to ignore the second surname now, since it basically leads to confusion to many non-Hispanic people. More information on the ''exciting'' ;) topic of Spanish surnames.
Also a common nickname for Ignacio in Spain is "Nacho".
