About

I am currently pursuing the second year of a Master's degree in Cryptography and Information Security at Mohammed V University, Faculty of Sciences, Rabat (2026–2027). I am particularly interested in understanding what cryptographic security claims mean: the security goals, adversarial models, assumptions and mathematical arguments used to justify them.

Academic interests

Provable security

Formal security definitions, game-based reasoning and reductions; exploring the scope and limitations of security claims.

Cryptographic protocols

Security models and mathematical foundations of protocol design and analysis.

Zero-knowledge proofs

Learning about classical and post-quantum proof systems and their formal properties.

Post-quantum cryptography

Interest in constructions, assumptions and security analysis for a post-quantum setting.

Selected work

Educational implementation

Elliptic Curve Cryptography Lab

C++ experiments with finite-field arithmetic and elliptic-curve operations, with a focus on tests and understanding the mathematical mechanisms. Educational work, not a production library.

C++ECCTesting
Undergraduate academic project

Blockchain Tourism Prototype

Academic exploration of smart-contract development across Solana, Ethereum and EOSIO for tourism-related use cases. This is not a claim of audited or formally verified contracts.
