Research Interests

Elliptic Curve Cryptography, especially designing algorithms for efficient and secure elliptic curves cryptosystems. Keywords: addition chains, (multi) scalar multiplication, side channel attacks, countermeasures, explicit formulas. I am interested in learning other areas of cryptography and information security as well.
