About

I am Mohammad Ferry Husnil Arif, a recent Computer Science graduate from Universitas Indonesia. I got interested in cryptography through CTF competitions because they combine cybersecurity and mathematics, which led me to focus on cryptography research.

Research Interest

I have broad research interests in cryptography, from the foundations of cryptography to practical privacy-preserving systems. I am particularly interested in foundational questions such as which hardness assumptions on lattices suffice for secure computation and proof systems while remaining secure in the post-quantum setting. I am open to learning specific areas within cryptography where theoretical computer science and mathematics are deeply involved
