Program Committees

During the past years, I participated to the following program committees:

Lectures

Recently, I have begun some lectures in cryptology, within few French Grandes Ecoles or Universities:

Ecole des Mines de Gardanne, 2006-2007
Université de Luminy, 2007.

I also participate to CFSSI cryptology training.

Since early 2007, I am qualified to be "Maitre de Conférence" (assistant professor).

Invited Talks

I have been invited to give talks to some seminars:

Caen cryptography seminar, 2005 (thanks to Damien Vergnaud)
Limoges cryptography seminar, 2007 (thanks to Guilhem Castagnos)
Rennes cryptography seminar, 2008 (thanks to Marc Joye and David Lubicz)
Caen cryptography seminar, 2008 (thanks to Guilhem Castagnos and Fabien Laguillaumie)

I also defended my thesis at the École Normale Supérieure seminar.

Trainees

I have had the chance to welcome some trainees at Gemplus/Gemalto:

Amine Dogui, 2005
Johann Urvoy, 2006
Davide Alessio, 2007.

If you wish to be a trainee of mine, do not hesitate to contact me.

Shabal

I have participated to the Saphir project, on the security and design of hash functions. One of the achievement of this project was the definition of a new hash function called Shabal. Shabal' specifications are given here

Shabal was our candidate to the NIST cryptographic hash function competition. Shabal was qualified to the first round and to the to the second round. Unfortunately, it was not selected for the final . More information are available on shabal.com.
