Thesis in Cryptography: Security of Multivariate Cryptographic Schemes and Their Implementations

Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique

Posted: 10 July 2026 - Versailles, France

About this opening

This thesis aims to explore the security of multivariate cryptographic schemes, particularly in the context of quantum computing. The student will assess the hardness of new cryptographic problems and improve existing attacks while also addressing the security of implementations against physical attacks. The position is within the 'Cryptology and Information Security' team at the Laboratoire de mathématiques de Versailles, supervised by Louis Goubin.
