Currently searching for the best possible Differential MITM attacks on various ciphers !

Work in progress, don’t worry and don’t worry me, I’m a “force tranquille” ;).

Thesis

  • I am supervised by Dr Naya-Plasencia and Dr Derbez for “Optimizing cryptanalysis of symmetric primitives” with the funding of the ERC “SoBaSyC” in the COSMIQ team at Inria Paris.
  • My goal is to encode some informatic tools in order to optimize the cryptanalysis of current symmetric primitives! For now, I am focusing on coding a MILP tool to found optimized differential Meet in the Middle attacks.
  • I also look at the construction of structures to improve Differential Meet in the Middle attacks.

Publication

Improved Cryptanalysis of GIFT-64

  • Published in TOSC 2025 and presented at FSE 2026. In this paper, I particularly work on the new Differential Meet-in-the-middle on 22 and 23 rounds of GIFT-64 in the SK setup.

Conferences and Spring School

  • Mar 17-21 : 25th Fast Software Encryption Conferences (FSE), Roma 🇮🇹 .

    I didn’t present any paper, but I hope that I was at least a good lion at the rump session 🦁.
