Sayandeep Saha

Sayandeep Saha is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. His research focuses on Hardware Security and Cryptography, with emphasis on Fault Attacks, Side-Channel Attacks, and Post-Quantum Cryptography. He leads the SHarC research group and actively collaborates with international institutions.

• Education: PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur
• Postdoctoral Experience: NTU Singapore (2022-2023), UCLouvain Belgium (2023-2024)

His research explores hardware vulnerabilities in cryptographic systems, covering:

• Fault Attacks on Symmetric and Post-Quantum Cryptosystems
• Side-Channel Analysis of Power/EM Radiation
• Microarchitectural Attacks (Spectre/Meltdown variants)
• Countermeasure Development and Formal Verification

Recent research trends include Rowhammer attacks, randomized cache designs, and fault propagation in cryptographic circuits. His work has been recognized in top conferences like ICCAD, USENIX Security, and CHES.

Awards:

• Top Picks in Hardware and Embedded Security 2024 (EUROCRYPT 2020 paper)

He is currently hiring Project Research Assistants for the RISC-V-based SISHAM project and supervises PhD students in hardware security research.
