In limine

C'est un grand honneur, mais aussi un grand bonheur, de me trouver aujourd'hui parmi les professeurs portugais de littérature française réunis dans cette célèbre ville- université de Coimbra. Je n'évoquerai pas le long passé de dialogue entre nos deux littératures qui donne leurs titres de noblesse aux chaires que vous occupez et à la discipline que vous enseignez. Je vous inviterai plutôt à regarder autour de nous et à nous demander quel sens nouveau revêt aujourd'hui l'enseignement de la la..

La “herencia de Amyot”: La crítica de la novela de caballería y los orígenes de la novela moderna

This essay analyzes Jacques Amyot and Jacques Gohory’s attitude towards chivalric books in the context of Classicist Humanism and that of the Catholic Reformation. Don Quixote is thus situated at the crossroads that reconcile “the contradictory premises stemming from the crisis in the narrative fiction that had arisen in the 16th century”.Se estudia en este trabajo la actitud de Jacques Amyot ante los lbros de caballería en el contexto del clasicismo humanista y la reforma católica y la de Jacques Gohory en torno al tema. Don Quijte significará el privilegiado espacio “en que se cruzan y reconcilian los postulados más contradictorios de la crisis de la ficción narrativa que había explotado en el siglo XVI.

Geography and the Paris Academy of Sciences: politics and patronage in early 18th-century France

This essay considers the politics and patronage of geography in early-modern France. It examines how the Paris Academy of Sciences, widely acknowledged as the 18th century’s pre-eminent scientific society, came to recognise geography as an independent science in 1730, a century before the establishment of the first geographical societies. Although the Academy was centrally concerned with cartography from its inception in 1666, it initially afforded no official status to geography, which was viewed either as a specialised form of historical inquiry or as a minor component within the hegemonic science of astronomy. The rise of Newtonian mathematics and the associated controversy about the shape of the earth challenged the Academy’s epistemological foundations and prompted a debate about the educational and political significance of geography as a scientific practice. The death in 1726 of Guillaume Delisle, a prominent Academy astronomer-cartographer and a popular geography tutor to the young Louis XV, led to a spirited campaign to elect Philippe Buache, Delisle’s prot�eg�e, to a new Academy position as a geographer rather than an astronomer. The campaign emphasised the social and political utility of geography, though the Academy’s decision to recognise this new and distinctively modern science was ultimately facilitated by traditional networks of patronage within the French Royal Court

Affine Masking against Higher-Order Side Channel Analysis

In the last decade, an effort has been made by the research community to find efficient ways to thwart side channel analysis (SCA) against physical implementations of cryptographic algorithms. A common countermeasure for implementations of block ciphers is Boolean masking which randomizes by the bitwise addition of one or several random value(s) to the variables to be protected. However, advanced techniques called higher-order SCA attacks exist that overcome such a countermeasure. These attacks are greatly favored by the very nature of Boolean masking. In this paper, we revisit the affine masking initially introduced by Von Willich in 2001 as an alternative to Boolean masking. We show how to apply it to AES at the cost of a small timing overhead compared to Boolean masking. We then conduct an in-depth analysis pinpointing the leakage reduction implied by affine masking. Our results clearly show that the proposed scheme provides an excellent performance-security trade-off to protect AES against higher-order SCA
