Postdoc Opening on arithmetics and algorithmics for cryptology on new trends architectures

Starting: October 2009.

Duration: 12 months.

Location: University Joseph Fourier - Grenoble 1 (France). The succesful candidate will work at the Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann.

Contact: Laurent Fousse (laurent.fousse@imag.fr) and Jean-Guillaume Dumas (jean-guillaume.dumas@imag.fr).

Scientific context

This post-doc position is opened within the SHIVA (Secured Hardware Immune Versatile Architecture) project and funded by the "Fonds Unique Interministériel".

The SHIVA project brings together several academic and industrial partners in Grenoble, and is endorsed by Minalogic. The goal of the project is to provide a programmable and reconfigurable hardware module with a high security level (to be evaluated in the light of the common criteria), and able to integrate on broadband network infrastructures. It will offer the possibility to secure entreprises, institutions and operators' networks, by using their own symmetric/asymmetric ciphers/PKI, either from standards or personalized.

Job scope

In the SHIVA framework, this postdoc aims at developping an efficient library for integer arithmetics adapted to FPGA. In order to take advantage of the target architecture, one can e.g. explore the possibilities of recursive data structures, of fixed precision integer arithmetics instead of arbitrary precision, of number representation focused on security applications developped in the SHIVA project... The candidate will have in particular to develop specific routines for asymmetric cryptology such as elliptic curve arithmetics.

Requirements

Expertise in one of the following domains (cryptology, arithmetics, curves, algorithmic number theory, GPU, FPGA) and a programming experience (e.g. C/C++, CUDA) are required.
