I defended my PhD on September 26th, 2011, in thecryptography team of the Computer Science Department of the Ecole Normale Superieure (ENS), in Paris (France). Pierre-Alain Fouque was my supervisor. The crypto team is also the INRIA CASCADE project.

The text of my thesis is available here, and the slides of the defense are available there.

My research interests cover both symmetric and public-key cryptography. On the symmetric side, I have been studying generic attacks on hash functions, as well as the security of various modes of operation of hash functions. I have recently worked on finding low-data complexity attacks on the AES. On the asymmetric side, I am mostly interested in the cryptanalysis of multivariate schemes.

• Research
  • My publications
  • A few presentations I made
  • My Résumé (in english). Et un CV plus détaillé en français
  • My attacks implementation page. AES-based and multivariate crypto
  • (most importantly) My Erdös number is 3 (via Adi Shamir and Jeffrey Shallit).


• Popularization
  • I am the author of a small book entitled "Sommes-nous prisonniers des codes secrets ?" with Pierre-Alain Fouque.
  • You can see it on the webpage of the editor.
