Jintai Ding, Perturbation of Multivariable Public-key Cryptosystems

Public key cryptography is an indispensable part of most modern communication systems. However, quantum computers can break cryptosystems like RSA, which are based on About the speaker: Jintai Ding is currently an associate professor in Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cincinnati. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Yale in 1995. He received the Zhong Jia Qing prize from the Chinese Mathematical Society in 1990 and the Sloan Dissertation Fellowship in 1994-1995. Before he moved to Cincinnati in 1998, he worked as a lecturer at the Research Institute of Mathematical Sciences of Kyoto University in Japan for three years. His early works are in quantum groups and in the last few years, his main interest is in the area of the multivariable public key cryptosystems.
