My research is structured around sovereignty, security, and digital trust. I aim to transfer our technological locks to environments requiring operational resilience in hostile or sensitive areas.
Axis 1: Smart Secure Devices (From Smart Cards to Intelligent Hypervisors)
This axis aims to guarantee security from the hardware design stage.
- I study the robustness of hardware isolation (MMU/IOMMU) on ARM/RISC-V architectures.
- We theorized and demonstrated the “Deferred DMA” attack, an architectural vulnerability bypassing the hardware firewall (IOMMU), leading to 2 critical CVEs (CVE-2025-0038, CVE-2025-48507) and 2 industrial patents with Thales DIS.
- I am currently exploring the use of Artificial Intelligence to dynamically adapt isolation rules in embedded hypervisors.
Axis 2: Critical Infrastructures & IoT
I transpose my expertise in ad hoc networks towards securing autonomous fleets and industrial IoT.
- Drone Sovereignty: I lead the security component of the ANR PANDRONE project (2024-2028), aimed at protecting the command link and the resilience of drone fleets in airport environments.
- IoT Trust: I contributed to the design of CRAFT, the first adaptive continuous remote attestation framework for the IoT.
Sovereign and Societal Applications
- Digital Forensics (Gendarmerie Nationale): Within the HuNum Chair, I lead the “Biometrics and IoT” cluster, developing protocols to extract data from destroyed memory cards.
- Digital Health: I co-lead the CV-SAN-T Chair of Excellence (Cybersecurity, Privacy, and Trust for Health), bridging distributed cryptography and diagnostic AI.
