Welcome!

Hei! I’m Carlo!

I love to solve problems related to Cryptography, Math and Coding.
I love Cooking and Climbing too!

Currently searching for a job!
Here, take my short CV or the extra-long CV!

Last Update: I released some (anonymized) technical assessments made during my job-hunting. Take a look!

Before that, I was a postDoc at Simula UiB working on theoretical aspects of PKE, security parameters estimation for side-channel attacks, algebraic optimization of zero-knowledge protocols and privacy-preserving automotive distributed protocols.
Before that, I was a PhD student at Chalmers and in August 2016, I defended my PhD thesis in how to guarantee privacy (and more features) in several cryptographic primitives and protocols.
Before that, I was a BSc+MSc student at Università di Trento and in July 2011, I defended my MSc thesis on the use of hidden sum for an algebraic attack on blockciphers, from a theoretical, computational and cryptographic point of view.
Before that, I studied Computer Science during high-school!

My research interests are quite broad, spacing from algebraic cryptanalysis to computational aspects. As my publication list showcases, I worked/researched in many branches of Cryptography:

• Fake News Detection: web-crawling for source and malicious image tampering detection
• Algebraic Cryptanalysis: using algebra to break block ciphers and/or similar boolean block primitives
• Flavourful Crypto: design of differentially private encryption scheme, exploiting machine learning in distinguishing attacks
• Public Key Cryptography: corruption-, privacy- and mass surveillance-oriented security notions
• Post Quantum Primitives: code- and lattice-based zero-knowledge protocols and verifiable random functions
• Secure Multi-Party Computations: turn-based communications, secure aggregation for federated learning
• Side-Channel: security parameter estimation and attacks
