Classical and Physical Security of Symmetric Key Cryptographic Algorithms

Anubhab Baksi has finished PhD from the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Prior to that, he finished a B. Sc. in Statistics and a B. Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering. Currently he is employed as a researcher at the Temasek Laboratories, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. His research mainly deals with classical and device dependent (fault and side channel) cryptanalysis on cryptographic primitives. He has (co-)authored various publications in acclaimed journals and conferences.
