Mathematical Foundations for Side-Channel Analysis of Cryptographic Systems

About Olivier RioulSylvain GuilleyWei Cheng

Wei CHENG is Postdoc Researcher at Secure-IC S.A.S. and also invited Associate Researcher at Télécom Paris. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Information and Communications in December 2021 from Télécom Paris & Institut Polytechnique de Paris France. Before this he received the B.S. degree from Wuhan University and the M.E. degree from the Institute of Information Engineering CAS. His research interests include information theory side-channel analysis and related countermeasures (mainly on code-based masking including inner product masking direct sum masking polynomial masking and other variants) of embedded systems and secure implementations. He also works on Machine Learning-based analysis on Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs). He has received the ICE (Information Communication and Electronics) PhD Prize of Institut Polytechnique de Paris 2022 Sylvain GUILLEY is General Manager and CTO at Secure-IC a French company with global footprint offering security for embedded systems. Sylvain is also adjunct professor at Télécom-Paris and research associate at Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS). His research interests are trusted computing cyber-physical security secure prototyping in FPGA and ASIC and formal / mathematical methods. Since 2012 he organizes the PROOFS annual workshop which brings together researchers whose objective is to increase the trust in the security of embedded systems. Sylvain is also lead editor of international standards such as ISO/IEC 20897 (Physically Unclonable Functions) ISO/IEC 20085 (Calibration of non-invasive testing tools) and ISO/IEC TR 24485 (White Box Cryptography). He is leading the topic High Level Principles for Design & Architecture in the editing team of TR68 (Autonomous Vehicles---Singapore Standards Development Organisation) and is member of the French BNA (Bureau de Normalisation de l'Automobile). Sylvain is associate editor of the Springer Nature Journal of Cryptography Engineering (JCEN). He has co-authored 350+ research papers and filed 40+ invention patents. He is member of the IACR senior member of the IEEE and the CryptArchi club. He is an alumnus from Ecole Polytechnique and Télécom-Paris Olivier RIOUL is full Professor at the Department of Communication and Electronics at Télécom Paris Institut Polytechnique de Paris France. He graduated from École Polytechnique and from École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications Paris France where he obtained his PhD degree. His research interests are in applied mathematics and include various sometimes unconventional applications of information theory such as inequalities in statistics hardware security and experimental psychology. He has been teaching information theory and statistics at various universities for twenty years and has published a textbook which has become a classical French reference in the field.
