- He has also co-authored a number of research works on elliptic curve cryptography and pairing-based cryptography, including the eta pairing technique,identity-based cryptographic protocols, and the family of Barreto-Naehrig (BN) pairing-friendly elliptic curves. More recently he has been focusing his research on post-quantum cryptography, being one of the discoverers of quasi-dyadic codes and quasi-cyclic moderate-density parity-check (QC-MDPC) codes to instantiate the McEliece and Niederreiter cryptosystems and related schemes. His paper "Efficient Algorithms for Pairing-Based Cryptosystems", jointly written with Hae Y.
