This conference wishes to honor Jean-Louis 's brilliant institutional and academic career.
J.-L. Lanet started his career as technician researcher at the Advanced
Studies Labs of Elecma, Electronic division of the Snecma, now part of
the Safran group. He worked on hard real time techniques for jet engine
control (1984-1995). He designed a distributed architecture for the M88
(Rafale engine) able to tolerate several failure while keeping its real
time capabilities. During that period he got an engineer degree in
computer science and his PhD degree.
After that, he was senior researcher at Gemplus Research Labs
(1996-2007) the smart card manufacturer. During this period, he spent
two years at INRIA (2003-2004) as an engineer at DirDRI (Direction des

and was in charge of the Security and Cryptology course of the USTH
Master (Hanoi). His research interests include the security of small
systems like smart cards, but also software engineering, malware
