PhD
The research will be conducted within the VoteVerif project (Verification of Voter-Verifiable Voting Protocols), in collaboration with Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland. The project aims to develop novel concepts, methodologies, and tools for specification, analysis, and assessment of information security properties. The focus is on voting procedures and protocols, and in particular on their essential features like confidentiality, coercion-resistance, and voter-verifiability. The approach of the project is holistic, in the sense that we plan to develop theoretical concepts (such as strategy- based metrics of information security) not for their own sake, but in order to apply them to an important domain of social life, and come up with guidance on the conduct of elections and novel designs for secure, usable voting systems. To this end, we are going to develop algorithmic tools that help to analyze the level of security and usability. Note also that, while we focus on voting procedures in the project, the concepts and tools being developed can be also applied to other domains where information security is important.

École polytechnique, Palaiseau, France
One year Post-Doc
Context
Safran Identity and Security and the computer science department of École polytechnique will conduct a study on the manipulation of centrally issued documents on blockchains.
Object of the study
There already exist various protocols designed for manipulating sensitive documents on blockchains, from straightforward ones (hashes), to advanced protocols (ZeroCash).
Objectives
The objective is to sort out the various proposition for anonymising transactions or data on blockchains, and to design a new one relevant to our application domain. Since the application domain is concerned with documents issued by a trusted third party (a government in case of a passport), our application domain may not be well fitted by existing approaches. Some software developments may be conducted.
Profile
The candidate should have either a rather good knowledge of a few advanced cryptographic protocols, or have a very good understanding of bitcoin (or ethereum) and in particular its programmable features (smart contracts, OP_RETURN).
