Embark on a journey with us, where you can innovate for a future that we want to make smarter and greener, in a responsible and sustainable way. Our technology starts with you.



We are looking for an intern to study the fault resistance of post-quantum, hash-based signature verification. You will start from existing software work and explore how fault injection can impact signature checking, with the goal of understanding the practical robustness of these schemes and evaluating potential countermeasures.
Internship activities
- Study hash-based signatures in verification-only use cases.
- Build a software reference implementation for fault modeling.
- Define the fault model and identify relevant fault targets.
- Review literature on attacks against verification mechanisms
- Evaluate countermeasures and their suitability for hardware support.
- Optionally explore hash-chain hardware acceleration and new attack surfaces.

You will work in an international team, based in Italy and France, with strong expertise in cryptographic implementations, both in hardware, software, and microcont
