Adam O'Neill

I am a Ph.D. student in cryptography, in the Theory Group at the College of Computing, Georgia Tech. My primary research interests are in the design and analysis of practical, provably secure cryptographic primitives such as encryption schemes, digital signatures, and hash functions. My advisor is Sasha Boldyreva.
