Cybersecurity Engineer

I am a Research Engineer at EAGLYS Inc., working on fully homomorphic encryption for privacy-preserving machine learning and secure computing. My research interests include cryptography, secure computing, and privacy-preserving technologies.

In 2015, I was awarded the Japan Government Scholarship (MEXT) to pursue a Ph.D. in cryptography under Professor Yasuyuki NOGAMI. My doctoral research focused on optimization and efficient implementation techniques for elliptic curve pairing-based cryptography and its application for IoT security.

Research Interests

  • Application of Homomorphic-Encryption
  • Private Set Intersection
  • Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning
  • Secure Multi-Party Computation

Education

  • Ph.D. in Public Key Cryptography Okayama University, Japan 2019
  • B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering Jahangirnagar University, Bangladesh 2012

An Improvement of Scalar Multiplication by Skew Frobenius Map with Multi-Scalar Multiplication for KSS Curve

Khandaker Md. Al-Amin, Yasuyuki Nogami
IEICE Transactions December 2017

Scalar multiplication over higher degree rational point groups is often regarded as the bottleneck for faster pairing based cryptography. This paper presents a skew Frobenius mapping technique in the sub-field isomorphic sextic twisted curve of KSS pairing friendly curve.
