Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVidal Attias is a Cybersecurity PhD candidate at CEA List and Université de Lorraine with eight years of research experience spanning binary deobfuscation, networking, blockchain, and applied cryptography. He specializes in automating deobfuscation using black-box approaches such as code synthesis from I/O examples and has deep low-level expertise with multi-precision libraries like OpenSSL. At the IOTA Foundation he researched Verifiable Delay Functions and built a VDF simulator, contributed to multiexponentiation performance studies, and helped design congestion-control algorithms for DLTs. His background combines rigorous theoretical work from ENS and MPRI training with practical systems development in C++ and protocol-level experimentation. Based in Paris, he is comfortable bridging academic research and engineering delivery, turning formal designs into validated simulators and prototypes. An under-the-radar strength is his ability to optimize cryptographic primitives at the implementation level while keeping sight of protocol integration and network constraints.
