I'm working at the COSIC lab of the Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT) of the KU Leuven.

My research topic is cryptography in general and I'm primarily interested in all issues related to the implementation of cryptographic algorithms. Research topics include, but are not limited to, fast and flexible implementations, both in (portable) C and (non-portable) Intel Assembly, of

operations in GF(p),
hash functions. My favourite one is RIPEMD-160,
new ciphers

In this respect the multiple-issue (superscalar/VLIW) architecture of the current generation of CISC and RISC processors opens up exciting new perspectives! New results on implementations of cryptographic algorithms taking advantage of these parallel architectures are always welcome.

The implementation page gives an overview of the Pentium-optimized implementations I have written of the following algorithms:

hash functions: MD2, MD4, MD5, RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-160, SHA-1, Snefru-128, Snefru-256, Tiger
stream ciphers: alleged RC4, SEAL 3.0
block ciphers: Blowfish, CAST, DES, 3DES, IDEA, Khufu, RC5-32, SAFER, SHARK, RC5-64, Square

More information on RIPEMD-160 can be found on the RIPEMD-160 homepage.

COSIC organizes bi-weekly seminars on Computer Security and Industrial Cryptography. No registration or fee is required to attend the seminars. The talks are given in English and take approximately one hour.
