About

I am Mohammad Ferry Husnil Arif, a Computer Science student at Universitas Indonesia. I got interested in cryptography through CTF competitions because it combines cybersecurity and mathematics. This led me to want to focus on cryptography research. During my studies, I also joined some math competitions including got Third Prize at the International Mathematics Competition 2024.

Research Interest

I am interested in several areas where theoretical computer science and math are involved:

Post-Quantum Cryptography: Including lattice-based cryptography and isogeny-based cryptography.

Privacy-Preserving Computation: Such as zero-knowledge proofs.

Cryptanalysis: Both classical and quantum approaches.

I am also open to learning many other areas in cryptography.
