Fast fully-homomorphic encryption

In fields like defense, industry, healthcare, and finance, data privacy is a major challenge. One promising avenue is using fullyhomomorphic encryption (FHE) to compute on encrypted data. However, to implement this approach, many hurdles must be overcome—ones that CEA-List has been working on for years.

Hardware accelerator tightly coupled to a RISC-V core for post-quantum cryptography

With the development of quantum computers—and their threat to modern cryptography—post-quantum cryptography is gradually making inroads into the industrial ecosystem. HQC (Hamming Quasi-Cyclic) is one of the post-quantum encryption algorithms recently standardized by NIST.

Exploitability by attackers and vulnerability prioritization

Fuzzing, symbolic execution and abstract interpretation, amongst other techniques, enable us to uncover bugs in our programmes at an unprecedented rate. But this raises the question: what should we do with all these bugs?
