Symmetric Cryptography
Since the recruiting of Marine Minier in September 2016 as a Professor at Université of Lorraine, a new research domain has emerged in the CARAMBA team: symmetric key cryptology. The aim is to design and analyze symmetric key cryptographic primitives focusing on the following particular aspects:
-
the use of constraint programming for the cryptanalysis, especially of block ciphers and the AES standard;
-
the design of lightweight cryptographic primitives well-suited for constraint environment such as micro-controllers, wireless sensors, etc.
-
white-box cryptography and software obfuscation methods to protect services execution on dedicated platforms.
