Sabine Oechsner

Sabine Oechsner is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Science, Computer Science Department of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and a member of the Network Institute. Her research focuses on cryptographic protocols, secure multiparty computation (MPC), and formal verification of cryptographic systems. She specializes in designing secure computation frameworks with practical implementations against malicious adversaries.

Her work emphasizes adaptive security, garbling schemes, and zero-knowledge proofs, with applications in privacy-preserving technologies and secure communication. Collaborations span global institutions, addressing challenges in cryptographic protocol efficiency and real-world security mitigations.

She teaches Secure Programming (2024–2025) and has published 12 peer-reviewed articles since 2018, including foundational work on SPDZ implementations and time-lock puzzles. Her research bridges theoretical cryptography with practical, deployable solutions.
