My current research focuses on challenges in cryptographic engineering, the implementation (in hardware and/or software) of and implementation attacks (relating to both side-channel and fault attacks) on cryptographic primitives and arithmetic in particular.  I am also interested in the design of (general-purpose) processors, compilers, and programming languages.  My previous work in these fields has included

• implementation using novel processors and/or hardware (e.g., implementation of RSA on GPU-based, multi-core, and SIMD-enabled platforms),
• novel side-channel attacks and countermeasures (e.g., non-deterministic processor designs, attacks using cache memory as a side-channel), and
• domain specific compiler/language support for cryptography (e.g., optimisation of AES, automatic side-channel countermeasures for ECC).
