Bio
I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Guwahati, advised by Dr. Chandan Karfa. My research lies at the intersection of hardware security and EDA, focusing on the design-automation, formal verification, and debugging of cryptographic implementations resistant to power side-channel attacks - particularly those employing masking countermeasures. Prior to this, I obtained my B.Tech from IIIT Guwahati.
Tools: EDA for Masking
