Biography

Currently a research engineer at Inria, I am interested in the impact of abstraction barriers (software/mathematics, hardware/software) on the security of computing systems.

Physical attacks (side-channels and fault injection) are the most obvious manifestations of this impact.

In the LHS lab, our physical attack benches allow us to exhibit vulnerabilities that are not achievable with software only.

Microarchitectural security is my second research axis, where I try to conciliate better core performance and security.
