Paola de Perthuis

Completing a postdoc in Cryptology at the Centrum Wiskunde en Informatica (CWI), I defended my PhD at the école normale supérieure (ENS) of Paris in 2024, advised by Pr. David Pointcheval.

I was previously a Research Engineer in the Polynomial Systems (PolSys) team of the LIP6 Computer Science Department of Sorbonne université (Paris). I studied General Engineering and Data Science at the école Centrale of Lyon, after two years of classes préparatoires in Maths, Physics and Engineering. Before my PhD, I have worked on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to produce cloud databases with Sidonie Lefebvre at the French National Aerospace Lab (ONERA) in Palaiseau, and on Data Mining an Processing with Didier Orel at Tamedia in Lausanne, namely working on the Paradise Papers in partnership with the ICIJ.

My research interests are focused on post-quantum Cryptology and protocols with advanced functionalities, with works on lattice Cryptanalysis, Traceable Receipt-Free Encryption, Verifiable Computations on Homomorphic Ciphertexts, Functional Encryption, Registration-Based Encryption and Key-Encapsulation Mechanisms. I have also worked on Technical Specifications for post-quantum Cryptography at the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) during my PhD on behalf of Cosmian.
