NEWS:

            I joined the Computing Science Department at the Radboud University Nijmegen.   

                I am an assistant professor in the Digital Security (DS) group. My new web page is here.

I am a post-doctoral researcher at the COSIC group, which is a part of the Department of Electrical Engineering ESAT, at K.U.Leuven.

I am working mainly in the area of embedded security. My research topics include efficient arithmetic for cryptographic algorithms (in particular I like ECC/HECC), secure implementations of cryptographic algorithms, side-channel security, lightweight cryptography e.g. crypto for RFIDs, sensor networks etc.  

My PhD thesis was Arithmetic and Architectures for Secure Hardware Implementations of Public-Key Cryptography. Currently, my research topics include side-channel attacks (theoretical and practical aspects) and countermeasures and also protocols for light-weight crypto.

Current academic duties:

• PC member of The ACM Conference on Wireless Network Security WiSec'10
• PC member for session on secure embedded implementations of the DATE 2010 conference
• PC member of FutureTech 2010, Track 8. Security and Trust Computing
• PC member of RFIDSec 2010

          Projects:

• Network of Excellence ECRYPT II (European Network of Excellence in Cryptology II) (2008-2012)
• BCRYPT (Belgian Fundamental Research on Cryptology an Information Security) (2007-2011)
• IBBT - Interdisciplinary Institute for BroadBand Technology (NextGenITS) (2008-2010)
