I strive to develop reliable and maintainable software,
with an eye toward improving the tools of our craft.
* Experience
** 2014 – present: software engineer at Airbus CyberSecurity
*** Research
I took part in the [[https://paclido.fr][PACLIDO project]], a French government-funded project
gathering industrial and academic partners in order to design and
implement *lightweight authenticated encryption algorithms* and
protocols.
During the course of this project,
- I implemented the reference version of Lilliput-AE, our submission
to the [[https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/lightweight-cryptography][NIST Lightweight Cryptography Standardization Process]].
- I described this implementation in [[https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Projects/Lightweight-Cryptography/documents/round-1/spec-doc/LILLIPUT-AE-spec.pdf][the algorithm's specification
document]], comparing its performance to that of Ascon and ACORN, the
lightweight winners of the [[https://competitions.cr.yp.to/caesar-submissions.html][CAESAR competition]].
- I extended the [[https://www.cryptolux.org/index.php/FELICS][FELICS]] benchmarking framework to support AEAD
algorithms; we [[https://gitlab.inria.fr/minier/felics-ae/][published this fork]] and presented these improvements
at the [[https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Presentations/felics-ae-a-framework-to-benchmark-lightweight/images-media/session3-huynh-felics-ae.pdf][NIST LWC Workshop 2019]].
- I developed optimized software implementations for Lilliput-AE on
the 16-bit MSP430 platform.
*** Industrial development
For four years, I helped develop a network monitoring appliance. My
main role was *maintaining the codebase* for an in-house rule-matching
engine: designing and implementing features, fixing bugs… Over the
course of the project, I took part in many over activities:
- I helped our project transition from manual software packaging to
full-blown continuous integration,
- I contributed extensively to our integration test suite,
- I studied some mechanisms to improve the system's security (Secure
Boot, TPMs) and helped implement others (LXC containers).
- I reviewed all uses of cryptography in the system as part of our
security certification process; this allowed me to get a good grasp
of how filesystem encryption, VPN, or repository authentication are
configured in a free software distribution.
- I supported our license team in assessing our use of free and open
source software.
