Interests

Here is a short non-technical description of my current research (Summary of my research) I am also interested in the following areas in Computer Security and Cryptography.

Authentication protocols using human interaction in Pervasive computing.
Formal security verification (Communicating Sequential Process, CSP and FDR)
Cryptographic/Universal hash function (Short hash or Digest)
Pseudo-random number generation (Linear feedback shift register)
Threshold Cryptography (RSA, and Digital Signature)
Side Channel Attack (Using Input Hidden Markov Model)

Biography

Long Hoang Nguyen was born in Hanoi, Vietnam. He went to Primary, Secondary and High schools in Hanoi before going to Britain to study A-Level (2001-2002), and read BA in Computer Science at the University of Bristol (2002-2005), obtaining top mark for his year in the university. He then went to Oxford (University College) to read a D.Phil (or PhD) also in Computer Science.

At Oxford he is currently working on Authentication Protocols based on Human Interaction (Information Security) with Prof. Andrew William Roscoe (Bill Roscoe), the director of the Oxford University Computing Laboratory. He did his undergraduate studies and final year project in Cryptography (RSA Threshold Digital Signature) under the supervision of Prof. Nigel Paul Smart, the head of the Computer Science Department at Bristol University.
