About me
Hi! I’m Rahmi El Mechri.
I’m currently a first year Ph.D. candidate at IMT Lucca, but I am hosted by UNIVPM, where I’m mentored by Paolo Santini and supervised by Marco Baldi.
My research efforts focus on the design and implementation of cryptographic primitives based on zero-knowledge protocols. So far I have worked mainly on code-based cryptography.
