Professor Raylin Tso is a distinguished faculty member at National Chengchi University (NCCU), serving as a Professor in the Department of Computer Science within the College of Informatics. He also holds significant administrative positions including Vice Dean of the College of Informatics and Director of the Information Security Center. With extensive research experience spanning over two decades, Professor Tso has established himself as a leading expert in cryptography and information security. Professor, Department of Computer Science, NCCU (2020-present) Vice Dean, College of Informatics, NCCU (2024-2026) Director, Information Security Center, NCCU (2023-present) Director, Master Program in Information Security, NCCU (2023-present) Professor Tso earned his PhD in Systems and Information Engineering from the University of Tsukuba, Japan (2004-2006), following two master's degrees from the same institution in Systems Engineering (2002-2004) and Business Administration (2000-2002). He completed his undergraduate studies in Industrial Engineering at National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan (1991-1995). Professor Tso's research focuses on advanced cryptographic systems with particular emphasis on post-quantum cryptography, blockchain security, and privacy-preserving technologies. His work spans theoretical foundations of cryptographic protocols to practical implementations in real-world systems. Recent research has increasingly concentrated on quantum-resistant cryptographic schemes, secure multi-party computation, and applications of cryptography in emerging technologies like IoT and smart contracts. His research group actively explores the intersection of traditional cryptographic techniques with modern computing paradigms, addressing security challenges in cloud computing, distributed systems, and digital identity management. Analysis of Professor Tso's recent publications reveals a strong trajectory toward post-quantum cryptography and privacy-enhancing technologies. His work demonstrates increasing sophistication in addressing quantum computing threats to traditional cryptographic systems while maintaining practical efficiency. A significant portion of his recent research focuses on identity-based encryption systems, searchable encryption techniques, and secure protocols for distributed environments. The interdisciplinary nature of his work is evident in applications spanning financial technology, healthcare data security, and vehicular networks. Distinguished Professor, National Chengchi University (2022, 2024) MOST Research Award (2020-2023) Best Journal Paper Award, Algorithms and Computational Theory Society (2017) Outstanding Researcher, Korea Information Processing Society Senior Excellent Teacher Award (10 years), National Chengchi University Professor Tso has successfully mentored numerous graduate students, including PhD candidate Zi-Yuan Liu who frequently appears as a co-author on recent publications. He has secured substantial research funding from Taiwan's National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), formerly known as MOST, with multiple ongoing projects focused on next-generation cryptography, blockchain security, and privacy-enhancing technologies. His current research portfolio includes several multi-year projects totaling millions in funding, with particular emphasis on post-quantum cryptography migration, secure digital identity systems, and quantum-resistant blockchain technologies. Professor Tso leads the Information Security Center at NCCU and is actively involved with multiple research laboratories including the Blockchain Payment Network Research Lab and the Quantum Security Research Group. His team collaborates extensively with industry partners including Chunghwa Telecom Research Institute and the Financial Information Corporation, bridging academic research with practical security applications. The research group maintains strong international collaborations with institutions in Japan, South Korea, and the United States, contributing to the global advancement of cryptographic research.
