Description: Olivier Bronchain is a cryptographer at NXP Semiconductors, Belgium. He is working on securing cryptography implementations for embedded systems.
Biography Publications Thesis Biography In 2017, I started to work as a researcher in the Cryptography Research Group at UCLouvain, Belgium under the supervision of Professor F.-X. Standaert . I received my PhD on January 2022 which was focusing on the evaluation and implementation of side-channel countermeasures. I am now working at NXP Semiconductors, Belgium, where I am mostly focusing on the deployment of post-quantum cryptography into embedded systems.
I am also a co-founder of the SIMPLE-crypto non-profit organization which aims at providing open-source implementation resistant against physical attacks.
I am currently focusing on the challenges related to the deployment of post-quantum cryptography in embedded systems. This includes low-memory implementations as well as side-channel countermeasures dedicated to post-quantum cryptography. As an example, I contributed to masking CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium , and low-memory FrodoKEM . I am also part of the Hawk team.
