Alberto Battistello worked for more than 10 years in the smart card industry, evaluating the physical security of smart card products like payment cards, sim cards, secure elements, passports, and so on. Alberto worked mainly on security evaluation of embedded systems against side-channel and fault attacks, development of attack tools and countermeasures. He holds a Ph.d from University of Versailles-Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (France). He was lecturer at the University of Bordeaux for the course of SmartCard security from 2013 to 2019, and is co-author of 8 scientific papers and is co-author of 10 registered patents. While not testing the security of products, Alberto loves to experiment with new technologies to attack and break things down.
