Summary

I hold a Ph.D from the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) of Paris in October 2016, where I specialized in Cryptography and Information Security. Subsequently, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at NTT Laboratories in Tokyo for three years. Following my postdoctoral work, I received a research grant at the Department of Computer Science at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). After that, I co-founded an innovative cybersecurity startup and served as its Chief Scientific Officer. I also have served as a scientific and cybersecurity consultant for various companies, including Huawei, Ingenico, Tanker, and Bank of Cyprus. Currently, my research interests are focused on Blockchain technology, Digital Wallet Security and User Authentication. Recently, I have been actively involved in the design of new cryptographic protocols for the development of the next generation of MPC wallets. I am also serving Journal of Cryptographic Engineering (JCEN) as an editorial manager. My publications are listed here: https://dblp.org/pers/hd/f/Ferradi:Houda I was a reviewer for several conferences & journals: INDOCRYPT 19, EUROCRYPT18, CRYPTO 2017, ACNS 2017, PKC17, EUROCRYPT 2017, PKC 2015, ProvSec 2017.
