I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me for your
trust and hope to continue serving you well.
20 years ago I started my IACR publication trail with CHES and PKC,
and still represent those subcommunities. Since then I have been an
active member of our community with a long service record:
- PC member and chair (Program co-Chair: PKC 2016, CHES 2024,
Asiacrypt 2025);
- organizer of numerous IACR events (General co-Chair: CHES 2017,
Asiacrypt 2022, TCC 2023, upcoming RWC 2026; earlier I was part of the team for Asiacrypt 2014 and PKC 2016), plus many other
conferences and workshops (QCrypt 2022, upcoming ECC 2024, PQCrypto
2025);
- an early disciple and noted implementor of Postquantum Cryptography;
- on PQCrypto, Asiacrypt and CHES steering committees; and
- actively participating in IACR board meetings since 2021 (elected member 2022-24; I was an appointed member as an AC22 co-GC during 2021).
To those who were in Taipei for PKC 2016, CHES 2017, QCrypt 2022,
Asiacrypt 2022 or TCC 2023: I consider myself good at conference
logistics, which is part of my contributions. I hope you enjoyed (one
of these events). I also learned and feel experienced and adept at
running people events. Simultaneously, working on these conferences
got me into closer contact with all of you, letting me understand
relationships and subcommunities in the IACR and how we work together
a lot better.
I think running conferences, program
committees, and planning conferences long-term combines to gives me a
rare multi-faceted, kaleidoscopic perspective of the IACR and its
people, the better to serve you with.
I am ready to continue on the Board of Directors as a long-term
commitment to the IACR. If elected again to the BoD, I will
- promote inclusiveness (geographic and cultural inclusiveness in
our events, but also every kind of inclusiveness, including of all
areas of cryptographic research) and internal cohesion in our
community;
- actively embrace and bring back to the IACR real-world cryptographers who currently find it necessary to publish at security venues;
- encourage openness and reproducibility: more published code,
artifact submissions, and formal verification of code, proofs, and
protocols; and
- continue to contribute my energy and resources to prop up the
already-stretched-thin IACR volunteer workforce.
