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).
