Hi,

I’m Maximilian Orlt, a Cryptographer at

Université catholique de Louvain.

About Me.

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the group of François-Xavier Standaert at the Université catholique de Louvain. Before joining UCLouvain, I worked with the Applied Cryptography Group led by Sebastian Faust at TU Darmstadt. My research focuses on applied cryptography, with particular emphasis on leakage- and fault-resilient cryptographic designs. In short, I work on cryptography that stays secure when reality refuses to be ideal. ;)
