World-leaders in Cryptography: Jens Groth
ASecuritySite Podcast
Jens is a Chief Scientist at Nexus, and works in many areas of cryptography including in pairing-based cryptography and Zero-knowledge Proofs (ZKPs). He was previously a Professor of Cryptology at University College, London, and as the Director of Research at DFINITY. In 2016, he published a classic paper of “On the size of pairing-based non-interactive arguments”, and which defines a Zero Knowledge Proof based on pairing-based cryptography. This is now known as Groth16, and is used in many applications, including with Zcash and Tornado Cash. In 2021, he won an IACR Test of Time award for...

World-leaders in Cryptography: Daniele Micciancio
ASecuritySite Podcast
Daniele is a professor in the Computer Science and Engineering department at the University of California, San Diego and, in 2019, he was elected as a Fellow of the IACR. His main focus is on the foundations of lattice-based cryptography and its advanced applications, including fully homomorphic encryption. Overall, he has published many classic papers that relate to lattice methods, including working with Chris Peikert on "Trapdoors for lattices", and with Oded Regev on the "Worst-case to average-case reductions based on Gaussian methods". Daniele has also contributed greatly to...

World-leaders in Technology: Vint Cerf
ASecuritySite Podcast
Vint is seen as one of the founding fathers of the Internet, and along with Robert Kahn, was award the ACM AM Turing Prize - the Nobel Prize of Computer Science - in 2004. Vint contributed to many areas in the creation of the Internet, including writing many RFCs (Requests For Comment) drafts, and in 1974 published the classic paper of "A Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication" in the IEEE Transactions on Communications. This paper basically defined the IP and TCP protocols that would eventually be used to build the Internet. Along with the A.M. Turing Award, he...

World-leaders in Cryptography: Gilles Brassard
ASecuritySite Podcast
Gilles has been a full Professor at the Université de Montréal for more than 45 years. He laid the foundations of quantum cryptography at a time when no one could have predicted that the quantum information revolution would usher in a multi-billion-dollar industry, much less that the United Nations would proclaim 2025 to be the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. He is also among the inventors of quantum teleportation, which is one of the most fundamental pillars of the theory of quantum information. In addition to this, his research focuses on areas of classical...
