Jean-Philippe Aumasson


From February 2010, I'm working as a cryptographer for Nagravision SA, a world leader in digital content security, at the headquarters in Cheseaux, Switzerland. I obtained a PhD from EPFL in 2009, while working as a researcher at FHNW, under the supervision of Willi Meier. Prior to that I received a master's degree in computer science in Paris.

My main research interests are in symmetric cryptography, especially lightweight algorithms and cryptanalysis.

I am principal submitter of the hash function BLAKE (candidate in NIST's SHA-3 competition), and co-editor of ECRYPT2's SHA-3 Zoo wiki. Notable previous results include cryptanalysis of Salsa20 (FSE 2008), MULTI2 ( FSE 2009), Trivium ( FSE 2009), Grain (SHARCS 2009), Skein (Asiacrypt 2009). Recently, I designed a hash function with minimal power consumption for application in RFID systems: Quark (CHES 2010).
