Research activities

I am currently working on symmetric cryptography, and more specifically, my main research interest is the cryptanalysis of arithmetization-oriented symmetric primitives. In particular, I've been trying to better understand the mathematical properties of such primitives. During my PhD, I've also had the opportunity to design Anemoi, exploiting a link between arithmetization-orientation and CCZ equivalence.

I am also co-creator of a wiki on STAP (Symmetric Techniques for Advanced Protocols) primitives. The aim was to identify and classify the symmetric primitives defined for the FHE, MPC and ZK protocols.
