معرفی
Moti Yung is a prominent computer scientist and cryptography researcher currently affiliated with Columbia University in New York City, USA, and previously with Google Inc. His extensive publication record spanning over four decades (from 1984 to 2025) demonstrates his significant contributions to the fields of cryptography, information security, and privacy. Dr. Yung has maintained an active research profile with numerous publications appearing in top-tier venues including EUROCRYPT, CRYPTO, ASIACRYPT, and IEEE Security & Privacy.
Yung's research interests center around cryptographic foundations and their practical applications. He has pioneered work in anamorphic cryptography, which enables covert communication channels within standard cryptographic protocols, providing resistance against censorship. His research also spans secure computation, privacy-preserving systems, blockchain security, and the intersection of cryptography with machine learning security. Recent work explores adversarial attacks on causal structure learning, steganography in 3D printing, and novel approaches to beacon privacy and censorship circumvention.
Analysis of Yung's recent publications (2023-2025) reveals several key research directions: anamorphic cryptography continues to be a major focus, with extensions to broadcast modes and signature schemes; privacy challenges in beacon technologies and IoT systems; security applications in emerging technologies like 3D printing; and the growing intersection between cryptography and machine learning security. His work demonstrates both theoretical depth and practical relevance, often addressing real-world security challenges through innovative cryptographic constructions.
Yung has served as co-editor for numerous conference proceedings including Inscrypt, SciSec, and CCS workshops on Additive Manufacturing Security, demonstrating his leadership in the cryptographic community. His collaborations span researchers worldwide, with frequent co-authors including Giuseppe Persiano, Duong Hieu Phan, and Benoît Libert.
