Jérôme Govinden

I am a PhD candidate in the Cryptography and Network Security (CNS) Group at TU Darmstadt, under the supervision of Jean Paul Degabriele. My research centers around symmetric-key cryptography, particularly on the design and analysis of provably secure schemes with real-world applications. More generally, I am interested in mathematics, IT security and cryptology.

In Fall 2024, I am privileged to visit the Cryptography Group at the University of Washington, hosted by Stefano Tessaro. Previously, I was a research intern in the LIP6 Computer Science Laboratory and in the Cryptography Research Center (CRC) of TII. I obtained a Master in Mathematics with applications to Cryptology from Paris Diderot University (now Paris Cité University) and a Master in Computer Science from Pierre and Marie Curie University (now Sorbonne University).
