Deepak M. — Product Engineer
I am broadly interested in computer security and applied cryptography with a special interest in Zero-Knowledge Proofs. My recent focus has been around problems surrounding identity. Some of the research highlights are below: - zkLogin is a user-friendly authentication method for blockchains. It is deployed on Sui! - DECO is a privacy-preserving oracle protocol licensed from Cornell by Chainlink. CanDID is a Sybil-resitant decentralized identity system that builds on DECO to port legacy credentials. - GoAT is a file geolocation protocol useful to prove location of files. - ZkAttest is an anonymity layer on top of WebAuthn that came out of my research internship at Cloudflare.
Stackforce AI infers this person is a specialist in cryptography and identity solutions within the blockchain and security sectors.
