Research Projects

AMAskZONE

We are already late, using cryptographic implementations in our daily life that are vulnerable to side-channel attacks. Provably secure cryptographic implementations are not practically secure and evaluations on concrete devices are not sufficient to achieve a reasonable security level. The...

KLEPTOMANIAC

Despite the emergence of post-quantum schemes, the RSA cryptosystem and the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol in finite fields are still widely deployed. The main cryptanalytic tool for assessing the hardness of their underlying mathematical problems (e.g., integer factorization) is the...

SWAP

With experts in discrete mathematics, cryptanalysis and implementations, the SWAP project aims to explore the design of S-boxes for various contexts. While current constructions mostly derive from the results of classical symmetric cryptanalysis, the emergence of new contexts, applications and...

SWITECH

Secure Software using Whitebox Technology

Software applications are increasingly deployed in environments which cannot be fully trusted. In this context, the SWITECH project aims at investigating and developing innovative security solutions based on White-Box Cryptography. The first benefit of the project is the development of...

MATTHEW

The mission of the MATTHEW project is to enable new applications and services on mobile devices. It will overcome the limitation of current passive NFC transmission technologies by active modulation and offer new ways of exchanging roles from one mobile...

CRYPTOCOMP

A crypto-calculus platform for the Cloud.

The principle of cloud computing is to allow users to outsource computation resources to the cloud by allowing a remote service to execute, in their name, some procedures on their private data. While many commercial services are growing fast, to...

HEAT

Using Fully Homomorphic Encryption in Practice.

The HEAT project will develop advanced cryptographic technologies using Fully Homomorphic Encryption to process sensitive information in ecrypted form, without needing to compromise on the privacy and security of the citizens and organizations that provide the input data.

KISS

The Smart Cloud approach: database-supporting smartcards securely operated through the Cloud.

The KISS research initiative introduces the concept of Smart Cloud, whereby end users carry secure tokens managing their personal data instead of relying on cloud storage. Through a variety of innovative cryptographic technologies, a Smart Cloud also supports data federation...

Eclipses

Boosting Elliptic Curves in the Embedded World.

Many business cases and user experiences could be improved or made more profitable if specific ECC-supporting hardware existed that would speedup security protocols by an order of magnitude at minimal cost. The main purpose of Eclipses is to accelerate progress...

ECRYPT Projects

ECRYPT-CSA & ECRYPT-NET

CryptoExperts is a partner of the coordination & support action ECRYPT-CSA, and of the research network ECRYPT-NET, sponsored by the European Union's H2020 programme.

BLOC

The best of cryptographic science for the embedded security marketplace.

Lightweight block ciphers are cost-effective solutions for symmetric encryption on embedded systems such as RFIDs and smartcards. They are specifically designed to fit in low-cost devices with very efficient hardware modules in terms number of gates, area, memory and speed....

IDECYS+

Electronic identity of SMBs.

In a context of increasing dematerialization of procedures and services, IDECYS+ aims to provide small and medium-sized businesses with a digital identity that is easy to obtain and use, taking into account delegation issues. Reliable identification is essential for establishment...

ABC4Trust

Towards trustworthy and privacy-respecting authentication.

ABC4Trust is an EU-funded research initiative that uses cryptographic technologies to provide better protection of privacy and identity on the Internet.

LYRICS

Protecting user privacy on NFC-enabled mobile phones.

A personal data breach may, if left unaddressed in an adequate and timely manner, result in a substantial economy loss and social harm. A breach should be considered as adversely affecting the data or privacy of a subscriber or service...

Marshal+

Exploring the reverse-engineering taboo.

The goal of the MARSHAL project is to design and realize a mobile security object that withstands all known reverse-engineering attacks by means of software and hardware countermeasures.

BEST

Innovative and cost-effective broadcast encryption for pay TV and Galileo geo-positionning.

Innovative techniques to securely broadcast content to large groups of users over an insecure channel with applications to pay TV, wireless networks, military radio communications and Galileo.

Prince

Formally proving that your crypto libs are side-channel resistant.

The PRINCE research project addresses the challenge of building leakage-resilient primitives and leakage-resilient implementations for standard algorithms. Through an appropriate security modelling, the embedded security industry has never been closer to fill in the gap between empirically secure cryptographic implementations...

RISQ

A french regroupment for post-quantum cryptography.

The RISQ project brings together the french digital security community (academics and industry) in order to prepare the post-quantum revolution. Combining the strong skills of its actors, the RISQ project aims to take part in the development of standards and...

Tisphanie

How (in)secure are mobile phones?

The main goal of the Tisphanie project is to propose a systematic and structured methodology, together with the related tools and evaluation process enabling the concerned users (MNOs, application developers, police laboratories, civil security operators) to efficiently assess the security...
