Cybersecurity Engineer

I am a Cybersecurity Engineer at ITK Engineering GmbH, focusing on cryptographic solutions and secure system design. Previously, I worked as a Research Engineer at EAGLYS Inc., where I developed privacy-preserving machine learning solutions using homomorphic encryption and secure multiparty computation.

I hold a Ph.D. in Cryptography from Okayama University, where I specialized in elliptic curve pairing-based cryptography and its applications for IoT security. My research was supported by the Japan Government Scholarship (MEXT).

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.
