I am a FNRS postdoctoral researcher at UCLouvain, in the Crypto Group.
My main research interest is the secure implementation of cryptographic algorithms in embedded systems, in particular regarding physical security issues. My goal is to design implementations that reach high security levels by being open-source, formally proven and end-to-end verified. My current research is focused on securing such implementations against physical attacks. I am mainly working on design, implementation and automated verification of masking schemes with provable security and competitive performance.
I am a co-founder and contributor of the SIMPLE-Crypto non-profit association whose goal is to develop and maintain embedded cryptographic implementations with strong physical security guarantees.
I like to write software and design hardware to put research in practice. Here are some of them.
I was one of the teachers of the side-channel security course at TU Graz (IAIK) in 2023.
I was a PC member for the CHES 2022 and 2024 artifacts, for CRYPTO 2023, CCS 2023, FSiC 2024.
I have been a reviewer or external reviewer for the following journals and conferences: Journal of Cryptographic Engineering, Cryptography and Communications, TCHES, HOST 2020, Eurocrypt 2020, Asiacrypt 2021, CRPTO 2022, Eurocrypt 2023.
I have co-organized the Spook SCA Challenge for CHES 2020 and the SMAesH challenge for CHES 2023.
I am a member of the JCEN editorial board.
