Biographies

Arnaud Taddei Global Security Strategist, Broadcom Corporation Arnaud Taddei is a Global Security Strategist for the CISOs and executives of the top 50 customers and Catalysts of Symantec/Carbon Black by Broadcom. He too participates in International Standardization Defining Organizations and in particular, was diplomatically and historically elected ITU-T SG17 Chair for the UK. He contributes at the IETF. He started his career in 1993 at the CERN IT Division in Geneva which created the World Wide Web. In 2000, he joined Sun Microsystems where he became one of the 100 elected global Principle Engineers. In 2007 he joined Symantec from Chief Architect roles up to Director of Research as direct report to the CTO. He graduated in 1992 from ENSTb and INRIA, France, which led him to the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow in 1992.
Gillian Makamara Program Coordinator, ITU Gillian Makamara is a Programme Coordinator at the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB) of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), where she leads the organization’s work on quantum technologies and serves as ITU’s focal point for international engagements in this domain. In this capacity, she coordinates the Quantum for Good initiative and represents the ITU across major global quantum efforts, including the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, where she served on the steering committee and coordinated ITU’s contributions throughout the year. In parallel, she contributes to international standardization across cybersecurity (ITU-T Study Group 17) and performance and quality of service (ITU-T Study Group 12), while supporting efforts to strengthen and broaden the participation of developing countries in the global standards ecosystem. Beyond her work at ITU, Gillian serves as a mentor in the inaugural Quantum Pioneer Legacy Initiative, a 10-month leadership programme aimed at cultivating the next generation of women leaders across quantum science and technology.
Jesús-Javier Chi-Domínguez Senior Cryptographer Post Quantum at the Cryptography Research Center (CRC) Jesús-Javier is a Senior Cryptographer Post Quantum at the Cryptography Research Center (CRC) of the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. His research is currently focused on the cryptanalysis and constant-time C-code implementations of elliptic-curve and isogeny-based cryptographic protocols, where constant-time means its running-time is independent (or it does depend on randomness non-correlated) from its input. His current research also includes code-based and lattice-based cryptography. In general, I focus on post quantum cryptography. He received a bachelor’s degree in mathematics in 2013 at the Faculty of Mathematics of the Autonomous University of Yucatan and moved to computer sciences for the master’s and Ph.D. degrees, both at the Cinvestav - IPN. He did postdoctoral research stay at Tampere University, Finland where he worked on the (mathematical, and probabilistic) study of side-channel analysis applied to both existing and emerging cryptosystems.
