My research interests are centered around quantum computation, communication and cryptography, both in theory and in practice. My current work is mostly about quantum protocols with provable security in realistic environments. I am also interested in quantum and classical security and cryptography, especially secure multi-party computation and the primitives on which it is based (oblivious transfer, bit commitment, etc).
