👋🏼 Hello there, I’m Munshi!
I'm a third-year PhD student at Virginia Tech, co-advised by Dr. Thang Hoang and Dr. Taejoong Chung.
My current focus is on hardening Web PKI, Resource PKI, Email PKI, and DNS using zero-knowledge proofs, cryptographic accumulators, multiparty computation, and other cryptographic tools.
