Rocco Mora

I am a maître de conférences at the Computer Science department of the University of Montpellier (France) and member of the ECO team at LIRMM.

Before, I have been a postdoctoral researcher at CISPA - Helmholtz Center for Information Security (Germany) in the Algorithmic Cryptology group led by Antoine Joux. Before that, I obtained my PhD within the project-team COSMIQ at Inria Paris (France), working under the supervision of Jean-Pierre Tillich.

My current research interests lie primarily in the area of post-quantum cryptography, whose aim is to study cryptographic systems that are considered secure even against quantum algorithms. In particular, my research focuses on the cryptanalysis of schemes coming from code-based cryptography and multivariate cryptography through techniques borrowed from computational algebra, such as Gröbner bases. I am also interested in several aspects of algebraic coding theory.
