Nick is a Senior Cryptographer at NTRU. He has published many papers on cryptography and number theory, including joint work showing that moduli of the form N = prq can be easily factored for large r, and an interesting attack on the digital signature algorithm (DSA), demonstrating that many practical implementations of this algorithm are insecure. He is co-inventor and patent holder of the NTRU signature algorithm. In addition to his research and peer-reviewing, he contributes to the cryptographic community both by invited lectures (IPAM Contemporary Methods in Cryptography, AMS Short Course on Cryptography) and in program committees (CT-RSA 2006, PKC 2006). Nick co-developed the NTRU process for threat model analyses, and is heavily involved with the security consultancy that NTRU provides. Before coming to NTRU, he worked for two years at the IBM, Yorktown Heights Research Lab in New York. He holds a B.A. from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and both an M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Bath, UK. |
