Outreach
I care about outreach and believe in the importance of sharing my work with the younger generations to get them interested in my field. I took part in the following outreach talks for EPFL :
- Summer School MINT - Köniz & Lebermatt Gymnasium - June 26th 2023 : “A Journey through the history of cryptography” Third version of my 3h workshop adressed at high school students. On top of the exposition to Caesar and Vigenère ciphers, this version focuses on giving a formal introduction to RSA, with a taste of provable security to study its security, a brief discussion of Wiener and Coppersmith attacks and an overview of side-channel attacks.
- EPFL Open Days - April 29th 2023 : “Humanités 2.0 - Cryptographie post-quantique et droit à la vie privée” A 12min talk in French adressed at a wide audience, mainly families, to present the research done at EPFL, with an emphasis on its societal implications and applications, followed by a panel discussion.
- Summer School MINT - Lebermatt Gymnasium - June 30th 2022 : “A Journey through the history of cryptography, and more…” A workshop of 3h adressed at high school student taking part in the MINT summer school organised by EPFL. This is an extended version of the previous talk, that additionally gives an introduction to side channels attacks (smudge attack on phone password, power analysis on password checking and timing attack on RSA).
- Thementag Gymnasium Thun - April 7th 2022 : “A Journey through the history of cryptography” A workshop of 1h30 adressed at high school students in their final years, with a large range of backgounds (scientific and non scientific). The workshop covers Caesar cipher, Vigenère cipher and RSA with some interactive exercises.
