About us

We are Cryptology & Algorithm Lab and our leader is Professor Jae Hong Seo. Our main research interests are in cryptography especially zero-knowledge proof. Besides cryptography, we’re interested in artificial intelligence using deep learning such as face recognition and speaker recognition.
