CryptoExperts is a research group of well-recognized experts in cryptography and is connected to a network of 45 technology partners from accross the globe. Research areas include provable security for security infrastructures and applications; the design and security evaluation of cryptographic functions, schemes and protocols; secure implementations and the physical security of embedded systems. Totaling more than 150 scientific publications and 100 invention patents, our research team, exclusively composed of industrial experts holding a PhD in cryptography, is proud to maintain a word-class expertise that simultaneously covers theoretical and practical aspects of cryptographic systems. Ranging from hardware cryptoprocessing to user-privacy, from lightweight encryption to white-box cryptography, here is a selection of our current innovation projects.
On Nov 15, 2011 was unveiled STONE, the industry’s first efficient cryptographic solution that enables CAS vendors and content providers to identify and remotely disable compromised smart cards used by pirate emulators. A smart card implementation of STONE is to be demonstrated by the end of 2011, with commercial availability…
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.
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 user when it can result in, for example, a confidentiality…
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 and built-in, provably perfect resistance against side-channels.
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 towards such hardware solutions and subsequently boost low-cost public-key and…
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.
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 and aggregation such as statistics, but in a built-in, privacy-respecting…
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. However one has to make sure that the lightweight design…
ABC4Trust is an EU-funded research initiative that uses cryptographic technologies to provide better protection of privacy and identity on the Internet.
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 of all major components embedded in personal devices (mobile handsets,…
