关于

I am a senior researcher at Microsoft Research (MSR) at Redmond. I am trained in applied cryptography. Since I joined MSR, I have researched on the intricate balance between security and privacy [Precio (CCS 2024) (opens in new tab), Anonymous Tokens with Hidden Metadata (CRYPTO 2023), (opens in new tab) Non-Transferable Anonymous Tokens by Secret Binding (CCS 2024) (opens in new tab)]. Recently, I have started thinking about such privacy-security trade-offs that emerge in new technologies. More specifically, I am interested in the security, privacy and safety of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies integrated into end-to-end systems.

I finished my Ph.D. at Rutgers University under the supervision of David Cash (opens in new tab). Then, I moved to Switzerland to do my post-doc in LASEC (opens in new tab) at EPFL where I stayed for two years. Later, I came back to the US to work for Bosch Research in Pittsburgh as a research engineer. Here are my research areas (all my IACR (opens in new tab) publications list authors in alphabetical order):

Structure-Preserving Encryption: Order-Revealing Encryption (opens in new tab), Format-Preserving Encryption [1 (opens in new tab), 2 (opens in new tab), 3 (opens in new tab)], Searchable Encryption (opens in new tab).

Secure End-to-End Messaging: Ratcheted Key Agreement [1 (opens in new tab), 2 (opens in new tab)], Post-Compromise Secure Self-Encryption (opens in new tab).

Biometric Access Control: BioID (opens in new tab), BioLocker (opens in new tab).

Anonymous Tokens:  Anonymous Tokens with Hidden Metadata, (opens in new tab) Non-Transferable Anonymous Tokens by Secret Binding (opens in new tab).

Multi-Party Computation (MPC):  AES in MPC (opens in new tab), Faster Convolution with Discrete Fourier Transformation in MPC, Precio: Secure Aggregation (opens in new tab).

Post-Quantum Cryptography: Misuse Attacks (opens in new tab), LowMC Attack (opens in new tab).
