معرفی
Prof. Dr. Christian Cachin is a Professor at the Institute of Computer Science of the University of Bern, Switzerland. He leads the Cryptology and Data Security research group and serves as Deputy Director of the Institute. His work focuses on cryptography, blockchain technology, and distributed systems, with particular emphasis on consensus protocols, privacy-preserving technologies, and secure multi-party computation. He has contributed to foundational research in threshold cryptography, transaction graph models, and DAG-based consensus mechanisms.
Prof. Cachin's research spans theoretical and applied aspects of distributed systems, including blockchain scalability, consensus mechanisms (e.g., Avalanche, Proof-of-Stake), and privacy-enhancing technologies like secure aggregation and untraceable payments. His group develops practical implementations, such as the Thetacrypt threshold cryptography service and analyses of protocols like FastPay and Inter-Blockchain Communication.
He has authored over 150 publications in top venues, including the 2021 Principles of Distributed Computing Doctoral Dissertation Award. His work bridges academic theory and real-world applications, addressing challenges in decentralized systems, smart contract security, and blockchain interoperability.
