Victor Delfour

I am a researcher in applied cryptography, specializied in the use of homomorphic encryption to enable privacy-preserving computation. Despite this research focus, I have an extensive knowledge of cryptography and it diverse usage from PKI to web3 apps. I worked the several last years with Rust and contributed to an open source library. Feel free to contact me.

Regarding work permits, I have a valid permit for the whole European Union as I am French. I don’t have a valid work permit for the US and Canada so I might require some sponsorship but the website only lets you apply if you say you have one, sorry for the inconvenience. Now, I let you read the AI slope about me and my research.

I am a cryptography researcher with a PhD in computer science focused on "Oblivious Computation through Homomorphic Encryption," designing and implementing novel cryptographic schemes in Rust. My work produced practical primitives such as an Oblivious Turing Machine, an Oblivious Universal Function, and the RevoLUT Rust library, with papers presented and awarded at venues including WAHC 2022, EDCC 2024, and Trustcom 2025.

I combine strong mathematical foundations from a Master’s in cryptology and a Bachelor’s in mathematics with operational skills in software development, secure programming, smart cards, formal methods, and standards. I implement prototypes in Rust, C, Python, and Java, and pursue applied projects that advance confidentiality and efficiency in privacy-preserving computation.
