Post Quantum Crypto WORKSHOP

Pr. Sylvain Guilley, General Manager and CTO of Secure-IC, will conduct a workshop about “Transitioning to post Quantum Crypto” in Secure-IC’s offices in Singapour, on July 7^th, 2022.

With the rapid development of quantum computers, there is a surge to prepare the replacement of Classical Asymmetric Cryptography with so-called Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).

Several algorithms have been devised as drop-in replacements, and even some industries have proactively adopted PQC for products’ “internal security” (e.g., secure firmware update, with LMS & XMSS, IETF RFC 8554 & 8391).

Secure-IC has been developing both hardware and software solutions for PQC, including security verification and pre-certifiabilitity. In this talk, he will explain what the challenges to transition to PQC for secure applications are, and how Secure-IC can accompany such transitions (incl. leveraging hybrid classical/PQC schemes) to also comply with PPA (power-performance-area) constraints.

Sylvain Guilley is also 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 workshop (http://www.proofs-workshop.org/2020/), 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 24485 (White Box Cryptography). He has been 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).
