Offer Description
The objectives of this post-doc are to:
- select post-quantum cryptosystems currently undergoing standardization,
- identify potential attack vectors against these candidates,
- perform these attacks using available experimental setups (clock glitching, laser, etc.),
- propose countermeasures to protect the cryptosystems and evaluate them.
- analysis of cryptographic algorithms
- identification of attack paths exploitable via physical attacks
- implementation and execution of physical attacks
- writing of scientific papers in English
The Hubert Curien laboratory is a joint research unit (UMR CNRS 5516) of the Jean Monnet University, Saint-Etienne, the National Research Centre "CNRS" and the Institut d'Optique Graduate School. It is composed of 90 researchers, professors & assistant professors, 25 engineers & administrative staff, and around 110 PhD & post-PhD students. This total of approximately 230 staff makes the Hubert Curien laboratory the most important research structure in Saint-Etienne. Our activities are organized around two scientific departments: Optics, Photonics & Surfaces and Computer Science, Security & Image, and scientific projects are carried out by 6 main teams: Functional Materials and Surfaces, Materials for Optics and Photonics in Extreme Radiative Environments, Laser-Matter Interaction, Image Science & Computer Vision, Data Intelligence, and Secure Embedded Systems & Hardware Architectures.
