AuditPay: Anonymous Payments with Controlled Oversight
ACM CCS 2026 (to appear)
My research focuses on applied cryptography and secure, scalable systems, including secure computation, differential privacy, and privacy-preserving machine learning. My work spans metadata-private messaging, anonymous payments, and selective disclosure of confidential information. I combine protocol design with practical implementations, using tools such as zero-knowledge proofs, homomorphic encryption, and oblivious computation.
