Broad Research Area: Databases / Information Retrieval / Data Mining, Information Assurance / Security / Privacy / Cryptography, Theory / Algorithms
Research Interests:
I am interested cryptography and data privacy, and their connections to diverse fields such as information theory, combinatorics, quantum mechanics and statistics. Recently, I’ve focused on a few specific topics:
* Privacy-preserving publication of statistical data
* Cryptography based on noisy secrets (”fuzzy cryptography”)
* Efficient two- and multi-party protocols for tasks such as agreement, commitment and secure function evaluation.
* Quantum cryptography, and quantum information theory
