Goal(s)
Embedded Systems and Smart card: problems related to implementation of a secured system; how theoretically secure algorithms can be rendered insecure by implementation; using dedicated hardware primitives for secure implementations
Quantum Crypto: How very small hardware and quantum physics change the way to deal with data
Responsible(s)
Paolo MAISTRI
