Cryptography
I am YoungBeom Kim (김영범), a Ph.D. student at Kookmin University (국민대학교), working under the supervision of Prof. Seog Chung Seo at the Cryptography and Security Engineering Lab (
CSE Lab). I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees from the same institution.
My research interests mainly involve Post-Quantum Cryptography, Software/Hardware Co-Design, and Side-Channel Security.
