I currently hold a post-doc position at University of Bordeaux, in the number theory and cryptography group. I completed my PhD in 2010 at University of Versailles, under the supervision of Antoine Joux.
For details, you may take a look at my CV.
I work in the area of algorithmic number theory and its applications to cryptography. Lately, I have been working on
the cryptanalysis of curve and pairing-based schemes : discrete logs, composite order group protocols ...
algorithms and implementation of primitives in curve-based cryptography
