Hi, there. I’m Vincent Hwang (黃柏文). I’m currently a PhD student supervised by Peter Schwabe (樂岩) at Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy. Before joining the PhD program in January 2023, I obtained my master’s degree under the supervision of Yen-Huan Li (李彥寰) in June 2022. I mostly worked with Bo-Yin Yang (楊柏因). In particular, I was (and am) focusing on implementing number-theoretic transforms used in the lattice-based cryptosystems Dilithium, Kyber, NTRU, NTRU Prime, and Saber. My master thesis focuses on the following platforms:
- Cortex-M3:
- Saber
- Cortex-M4:
- NTRU
- NTRU Prime
- Saber
- Cortex-A72:
- Dilithium
- Kyber
- Saber
You can find the details of the master thesis here.
While I was an undergraduate student (Sept. 2016 – Jun. 2021), I spent most of the time on Theoretical Computer Science, in particular, graph algorithms and generalizations of sorting problems.
