Talk Title
Tackling Challenges in Deploying Modern Cryptography
Abstract
Modern cryptographic protocols play a critical role in securing information at various stages. Despite significant advancements in their design, challenges remain in practical deployment. These challenges often arise from concerns related to efficiency, security, and user awareness. My research addresses these issues by exploring the theoretical foundations, protocol design, and real-world applications of cryptography. In this talk, I will present key efforts to tackle these obstacles, the impact of these solutions, and lessons learned along the way.
