B.Sc. In Engineering and Industrial Management from Instituto Superior Técnico (I.S.T.) (a B.Sc. in Portugal is a 5-year program)



Research experience


Oct 1999 – present:

Performed research on cryptography. Specifically, on the area of side-channel attacks



Ongoing research


Oct 1999 - present

Doing research aimed at establishing a bridge between the theory of cryptosystems' creation and the way they are securely implemented (in hardware) against side-channel attacks. In other words, doing research aimed at creating a theoretical model in which cryptosystems can be tested against side-channel attacks.

This model is available at: http://www.frdafonseca.com/papers/3
