Andrea Basso

I am a postdoctoral researcher in isogeny-based and post-quantum cryptography at IBM Research Zürich, working with Luca de Feo. Previously, I was a postodoctral researcher at the Crytography Research Group at Bristol University, working with Chloe Martindale and Dan Page, after having completed my PhD at the Security and Privacy Group of the University of Birmingham, under the supervision of Christophe Petit and Sujoy Sinha Roy.

My research focuses on both theoretical and applicational aspects of post-quantum cryptography. I am interested in isogeny-based cryptography and developing new protocols based on isogenies. I also have experience cryptanalyzing existing protocols as well as developing efficient and secure hardware implementations of SABER and other lattice-based algorithms. I was a member of the SABER team, one of the four KEM finalists in the NIST post-quantum cryptography standardization process.
