Research
Digital Identity
Digital identity, authentication, authorization and verifiable credentials.
Digital Signatures
Electronic signatures, digital signatures, PKI and long-term validation.
Cryptography
Cryptographic algorithms, protocols and applied cryptography.
Finite Fields
Efficient arithmetic over binary finite fields and modular reduction.
Post-Quantum Cryptography
Cryptographic mechanisms and infrastructures for the post-quantum transition.
AI & Security
Artificial intelligence applied to security, identity and autonomous agents.
Electronic Documents
Electronic documents, long-term validation, preservation and trust infrastructures.
Information Security
Security architectures, protocols, infrastructures and trustworthy systems.
Current Research
- Personal AI Agents — identity, authorization, accountability and non-repudiation for autonomous agents.
- Digital Identity & Digital Signatures — infrastructures and protocols for trustworthy digital transactions.
- Finite Field Arithmetic — efficient multiplication and modular reduction over binary extension fields.
- Post-Quantum Cryptography — transition of digital-signature and trust infrastructures to post-quantum cryptography.
