Biography
[edit]An alumnus of the École Normale Supérieure, David Pointcheval obtained his Ph.D. in 1996 from the University of Caen Normandy. In 1998, he joined the French National Centre for Scientific Research, working within the Computer Science department of École Normale Supérieure. Since then, his research has focused mostly on asymmetric cryptography and Provable security, of which he was one of the pioneers. He has authored more than 100 international publications, and co-invented a dozen patents. He was awarded a European Research Council Advanced Grant in 2015.[3] In 2021 he received the RSA Award for Excellence in Mathematics.[4]
