I am a professor at State Key Laboratory of Cryptology (SKLC), Beijing, China. My research interests focus on cryptography, particularly in secure multi-party computation (MPC), zero-knowledge proofs, fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), post-quantum cryptography (PQC), and threshold cryptography. I am also interesting in the applications of these cryptographic techniques, such as privacy-preserving machine learning (PPML), secure database, and blockchain.

Students and post-docs

I have the bandwidth to take on new postdocs or PhD students. If you are interesting on the cryptography research, you can contact me to inquiry about opportunities of postdocs or PhD students by sending emails to yangk@sklc.org or kangyang2048@gmail.com.

I recommand MPCSurvey (an MPC survey) as a starting point on the research of MPC.
