In a Nutshell |
|---|

I am a professor at the University of Applied Sciences
Western Switzerland (HES-SO/HEIG-VD). I provide
high-quality consulting services and lead R&D projects in the area of
industrial cryptography and information security; furthermore,
I teach several topics of computer security to engineering students. Before that, I was working as a cryptographer for the Kudelski Group, world leader in the Pay-TV industry. Until March 2005, I have been a full-time teaching and research assistant (where I defended my PhD thesis under the supervision of Prof. Serge Vaudenay) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (Switzerland), in the Security and Cryptography Laboratory. My main scientific interests are related to cryptography and cryptanalysis, especially to the design and cryptanalysis of block ciphers; for instance, I am the co-designer of the award-winning IDEA NXT block cipher (also known as FOX). Finally, I like to install and to secure servers running free UNIX-like operating systems and to discover how to hack them. On this site, most of my publications are available, as well as more information about my professional and teaching activities. |
