On lightweight cryptography
In recent years research in symmetric cryptography has focused on lightweight ciphers, leading even to an open NIST competition dedicated to it. In this talk we take a step back and look at lightweight cryptography from a more historical perspective.
Short bio: Since March 2015, he is a full professor symmetric cryptography at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Digital Security (DiS) Group and since September 2018 this has become his full-time job. Currently he is head of the DiS group. Until that date, he worked near Brussels, Belgium as a security architect and cryptographer for STMicroelectronics (2003-2018), previously Proton World (1998-2003), previously Banksys (1996-1998), all that time in the security engineering group led by Yves Moulart. Before that he worked shortly at Bacob Bank (1996) in Brussels as a security architect and he spent one year in IT support at J&J (1995-1996) on the Janssen site in Beerse, Belgium. He did a PhD on the design of symmetric cryptography at COSIC in Leuven from 1988 until 1995.
