About Me

I am Lorenzo Casalino, a post-doctoral researcher in the SUSHI team (INRIA/Irisa) at CentralSupélec (Rennes, France). In the context of the ANR ATTILA project, I am studying the susceptibility of edge-AI-powered applications to side-channel attacks and the design of innovative countermeasures.

Between 2021 and 2024 I was a Ph.D. student at the Sorbonne University (Paris, France), although my daily research activity was done in the LFIM laboratory, part of the CEA-List Centre (Grenoble, France). During my Ph.D., I investigated how the hidden microarchitectural details of a CPU may reduce the proven security of masked software implementations of cryptographic primitives (thesis manuscript, defence slides).

And before that, I was a M.Sc. student (2020) and B.Sc. (2016) in Computer Science and Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy). I got my M.Sc. degree with a thesis (equivalent to the french M2 stage) about the application of compilation tools to preserve the security of masked algorithms throught the compilation process (manuscript).

My research interests concern with the hardware security of sensitive applications, the investigation of innovative countermeasures and the employment of tools to aid their application.
