📢 This summer, I will be joining the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) in Sønderborg as an Assistant Professor 🇩🇰

Looking forward to contributing to research and education in cryptography and security at the beautiful campus 👨🏼‍🏫

Seems all Crypto 2025 authors have submitted their cameraready papers - www.iacr.org/cryptodb/dat...
In total, 155 papers (new record, but acceptance rate is still low), almost 30 of them about ZK (both theory and practice). The practice papers were mostly available on eprint before, so no surprises

Save the date! The next NordiCrypt will take place on Monday June 30th in Aarhus. We will start around 10:00. More details soon at sites.google.com/view/nordicr...

Very excited to be a part of this!

The 7th workshop on Privacy Preserving Machine Learning will take place on August 17, 2025 (Sunday), as an affiliated event of the 45th CRYPTO 2025 conference.

For those interested, Real-World MPC, the 4th Annual FHE Conference on fully Homomorphic Encryption and the 3rd Annual Real-World Post-Quantum Cryptography Workshop will be hosting co-located events in Sofia around the same time as RWC 2025. We highly recommend checking them out!

MAESTRO: Multi-party AES using Lookup Tables Secure multi-party computation (MPC) enables multiple distrusting parties to jointly compute a function while keeping their inputs private. Computing the AES block cipher in MPC, where the key and/or ...

I'm excited to announce that our "MAESTRO" paper has been accepted at USENIX Security 2025.

This work resulted from collaborative research involving researchers based in 4 different countries. Now I have a good reason to visit those countries for more discussion and beer.

Our new paper on “card-based cryptography × garbled circuit” is out!
Joint work with Kazunari Tozawa and Takaaki Mizuki.
Now you can play with less cards!
