Gildas Avoine

Gildas Avoine is a professor of information security and cryptography at INSA Rennes (France) and he performs his research at IRISA (France). He is also a member of the Institut Universitaire de France and an invited professor at the UCL in Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium).

Gildas Avoine is the chair of the management committee of the European COST Action Cryptacus, and the director of the French CNRS' Research Groupment in Cybersecurity (Pré-GDR Sécurité). At IRISA, he is the co-leader (jointly with Prof. Pierre-Alain Fouque) of the research group on Embedded Security and Cryptography (EMSEC).

Previously, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the MIT (USA) hosted by Ron Rivest in the CSAIL, and at the EPFL (Switzerland) in the LASEC headed by Serge Vaudenay, where he obtained a PhD degree in cryptography. Previously, he studied at the University of Caen (France) where he received a Bachelor degree in mathematics and Bachelor and Master degrees in computer science.

Research Interests

My research activities relate to cryptography and information security, especially (but not only) cryptographic protocols. My recent works addressed cryptanalytic time-memory trade-offs, distance-bounding protocols, memory carving in ubiquitous devices, and browser fingerprinting.
