Research Interest

My research interests focus on public-key cryptography with provable security.

In particular, I am interested in the design of cryptographic schemes

• immune to new types of attacks, including key-dependent message attack (KDM), related-key attack (RKA), key-leakage attack (KLA) and selective-opening attack (SOA);
• enjoying a tight security reduction to computational assumptions;
• based on the intractability of factoring-based (DCR), pairing-based (DDH, DLIN) or lattice (LWE, LPN) problems.
