My main interests are in Cryptography; especially
-
Leakage-Resilient Cryptography
- Random Number Generation
- Cryptography with Biometrics and Other
Noisy Data
- Hash Functions and Random Oracle
Model
- Information-Theoretic Cryptography
- Secure (Group) Messaging
More generally, I'm interested in Theoretical Computer Science at large
(Algorithms, Complexity, Combinatorics, etc.).
