Biography

Lyes Khoukhi is Full Professor of cybersecurity at CNAM Paris (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers), Sorbonne University, France. He received the Ph.D degree in computer engineering from the University of Sherbrooke, Canada, in 2006. Between 2007 and 2008, he was a researcher with the Department of Computer Science and Operations Research, University of Montreal in collaboration with Bell-Canada. In 2008, he also worked for Dialexia Corporation-Montreal, in the development of safe communications solutions. In 2009, he joined UTT -University of Technology of Troyes- as assistant professor, where he became Full professor at 2018. From 2020 to 2025, he was Full professor at ENSICAEN (Normandie University). Since September 2025, he joined, as Full Professor on Cybersecurity, CNAM Paris (CEDRIC research Laboratory/ROC team).

His research interests include Cybersecurity for networks/SI, attacks detection and prediction, access control, privacy and personal data protection, and networking. His target is securing areas like IoT, V2X, 5G/6G, e-health, and complex energy systems.

He has participated as a General chair or program chair of many conferences. He was the Local chair for IEEE LCN 2024, program chairn of IFIP NTMS 2025, IEEE ICC'23 IoTSN Symposium chair and general chair for LCN 2022. He also served as the program chair of LCN'21, the program co-chair of CyberWorlds'21 & LCN'20, and Symposium chair for IEEE LCN in 2019. He is also the Symposium chair of Globecom'21 MWN Symposium, co-chair of the IEEE LCN On-move for several years (2013-2018) and QoSQoE of IWCMC (2017-2019), and the general chair of NOTERE' 16 (13ème Francophone conference, 2016), and UBIROADS'2012. He is the Guest Editor of several special issues, like Springer journal of Annals of Telecommunications of the SI (Internet of Vehicles & Smart City)-2020, about security and protocols issues in V2X. He is also the SIG leader of "Machine Learning for IoT and ad hoc networks" of the IoT ASHN ComSoc Committee of IEEE Communications Society since 2020.

Research info

See my list of publications

I'm interested by the following topics in Cybersecurity and networks :

₋ Security of networks and attacks detection and prediction

₋ Trust and misbehaviors modeling, and access control

₋ Privacy and data protection

₋ Security of complex systems (IoT, V2X, 5G/6G, e-health, energy systems)

I use several methods and approaches (like Artificial intelligence and Machine learning, Markov chains and statistics).

Teaching info

See my list of teaching courses and activities

I'm interested by the following topics:

Cybersécurité : Sécurité des réseaux, Sécurité des données et cryptographie de base, Outils de sécurité et Authentification
Réseaux : TPC/IP, protocoles réseaux, VoIP, réseaux mobiles
Cybersécurité avancée : cybersécurité pour IoT/véhicules connectés/Cloud, cybersécurité pour le WiFi/réseaux mobiles, Blockchains, Network Forensic

I offer my courses and lectures at several levels : engineer level, Masters, and MS spécialisés (formation initiale et formation continue).

I contributed to building several teachning programs (like Option of "Cybersécurité" in the new master à la carte informatique at Unicaen (since 2022), and the major SSI in the old master Informatique (since 2020))

Responsabilities:

I'm (and i'was ) involved in several responsibilities, in teaching , projects and others
