About me
I am a Cryptography Expert at ANSSI (National Cybersecurity Agency of France) Cryptography lab.
I am interested in cryptology in general, from the study of its foundational theoretical aspects up to the design and analysis of practical protocols. My research focuses on the development of modular security notions and models that closely match the security expectations of real-world cryptographic applications. I also design and analyze efficient schemes that reach the security notions required for practical cryptographic use cases. I am particularly interested in the cryptographic challenges posed by cloud computing. During my thesis, I analyzed the security definitions and proposed new efficient solutions for Proofs of Retrievability (auditing large outsourced files) and post-quantum Updatable Encryption (efficient key rotation on encrypted databases).
I obtained my PhD at Ecole Polytechnique / IP Paris (Palaiseau, France) under the supervision of Françoise Levy-dit-Vehel.
