Petr Svenda

Petr Svenda is an associate professor at Masaryk University, Czech Republic. He first touched the domain of cryptographic implementations in 2002 while working on side-channel analysis and has kept his passion for cryptographic smartcards ever since. His team systematic analyses of (mostly) black box implementations resulted in the discovery of a range of real-world vulnerabilities like ROCA or Minerva, as well as a suite of tools to support developers of more secure cryptographic implementations.
