Cyber Security Graduate | Post-Quantum Cryptography | Security Architecture | CTF

LinkedIn GitHub Website Email


🧠 Research Interests

  • Primary: Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and lattice-based digital signature schemes (NIST FIPS 204, ML-DSA)
  • Secondary: Decentralized identity (DID) systems, zero-trust security architectures, permissioned distributed ledgers

πŸš€ Flagship Project: ScatterID

Post-quantum, zero-knowledge identity verification infrastructure β€” undergraduate capstone

Layer Technology
Cryptographic Core NIST FIPS 204 ML-DSA-65 lattice signatures, RFC 8785 (JCS) canonicalization, salted SHA3-256 commitments
Anchoring Permissioned Hyperledger Fabric ledger, Raft consensus
Client Layer TypeScript/JavaScript SDK (@scatterid/sdk), zero-dependency offline verifiers (Node.js + Python)
Ops Docker Compose turnkey provisioning, HashiCorp Vault KMS, CI/CodeQL/Gitleaks pipeline
  • Ran a structured, self-directed security audit of the finished system β€” found and fixed real issues (an unauthenticated admin interface, a disabled TLS certificate check) and re-verified every fix by running the system, not just reviewing the code.
  • Source, documentation, and audit history are public.
