Research

Interests

Theoretical Computer Science: Computational Cryptography, Computational Complexity, Randomness and Computation, Quantum Computation.

Now, the following three projects are running:
  • Cryptographic Primitive Protocols (e.g., Public-Key Encryption, Commitment, Oblivious Transfer, Zero-Knowledge Proofs/Arguments)
  • Cryptographic Pseudorandom Generators and Randomness Extractors.
  • Quantum Cryptography (especially in the computational complexity sense)
  • Secure Computation / Privacy Protection (e.g., Homomorphic Encryption, Garbled Circuits)

For more details, see here.
