Jung Hee Cheon (born 1969) is a South Korean professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, the director of Industrial & Mathematical Data Analytics Research Center (IMDARC) atSeoul National University (SNU), andCEO of CryptoLab. His research interests includecomputational number theory,cryptology, andinformation security. He is one of the co-inventors ofHEaaN.
Born inSouth Korea, Cheon received hisBachelor of Arts,Master of Science, andPh.D, all in Mathematics fromKAIST in 1991, 1993, and 1997, respectively.
Before joining SNU, he was a senior member of research staff atETRI (1997-2000), a visiting scientist atBrown University (2000), and an assistant professor atICU (2000-2003).
Dr. Jung Hee Cheon is also one of the inventors of braid cryptography,[1] agroup-based cryptography scheme, and was previously known for his work on an efficient algorithm for the strongDH problem.[2]
Cheon is actively working on homomorphic encryptions and their applications, including machine learning,[3] homomorphic control systems,[4] and DNA computation on encrypted data.[5]
Dr. Jung Hee Cheon has served as program chair and co-chair for multiple conferences, including ICISC 2008,ANTS-XI,Asiacrypt 2015/2016, MathCrypt 2013/2018/2019/2021, and PQC2021/2022.[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] He was one of the two invited speakers at Asiacrypt 2020.[26] He also contributes as an editor of theJournal of Cryptology.[27]
