Invited Speakers

• Gilles Van Assche, STMicroelectronics, Belgium
  
  Brief Bio: Gilles Van Assche is a principal cryptographer in the Secure Microcontrollers Division of STMicroelectronics in Diegem, Belgium and a professor at the École Supérieure d'Informatique in Brussels. He is an active researcher in the field of symmetric cryptography and a co-designer of the Keccak algorithm, which was selected by NIST for the SHA-3 standard in 2012, after an intense five-year international competition. At ST, he works on security and testing aspects of software on secure microcontrollers. Next to that, he enjoys devising and analyzing cryptographic functions with his teammates, for hashing, pseudo-random number generation, authentication and (authenticated) encryption. He received his PhD from the University of Brussels in 2005 in the field of quantum key distribution.



• Takahiro Matsuda, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan.
  
  Brief Bio: Takahiro Matsuda received his bachelors, masters, and PhD degrees in Information and Communication Engineering from the University of Tokyo in 2006, 2008, and 2011, respectively. He has been with AIST since 2011, where he now works as a senior research scientist. His research interests include the foundations of cryptography, in particular encryption and digital signature schemes with enhanced security and functionality properties. He received the 2016 Docomo Mobile Science Award (Advanced Technology Award of Excellence).



• Mridul Nandi, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India
  
  Brief Bio: Mridul Nandi received the B.Stat and M.Stat degrees in statistics, and PhD degree in computer science from the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, in 1999, 2001, and 2005, respectively. He was one of the member in SHA3 project by NIST during 2008 to 2010. Currently, he is an associate professor in the Applied Statistics Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. His current research interests include design and analysis of symmetric-key schemes, efficient software/hardware implementations of cryptographic algorithms and quantum symmetric key cryptography.
