01 FOUNDATIONS
Cryptographic foundations
We formalise the properties that make a protocol secure: what is hidden, what is authentic and what remains true when assumptions are made explicit.
Laboratorio di Crittografia e Cybersecurity · Department of Mathematics and Physics
Security starts with good mathematics.
We study how information can be protected, verified and shared in the presence of an adversary — from rigorous cryptographic foundations to the systems and people that depend on them.

01Why this lab
We treat security as a mathematical discipline.
Good security is not a layer added at the end of a project. It is a way of thinking about information, computation and trust from the very beginning.
At Roma Tre, the laboratory connects cryptography and cryptanalysis with algebra, geometry, logic and theoretical computer science. The result is a research environment where abstract models meet concrete questions.
02Research focus
Three ways into the problem.
Our work moves between foundations, attacks and applications — keeping the questions precise at every scale.
02 ADVERSARIES
Cryptanalysis & resilience
We investigate failure modes, attack surfaces and the information an adversary can extract from a system.
03 METHODS
Mathematics that transfers
Algebra, geometry, logic and theoretical computer science give us tools that travel across problems and disciplines.
03Our method
Make the assumptions visible.
Research becomes useful when its reasoning can be inspected. We move through a simple loop: define the threat, isolate the claim, and challenge the result.
About the Department laboratory01Model
State the system, the secret and the adversary.
02Prove
Turn intuition into a property that can be checked.
03Test
Look for the boundary where the guarantee changes.
04Activities
A lab that stays in motion.
Seminars, workshops and conversations make the research legible beyond the page — and create the next question.

Open by design.
The laboratory is part of the research community of the Department of Mathematics and Physics at Roma Tre University. We work across groups, welcome external collaborators and make room for people who are still finding their question.
