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) at Seoul National University (SNU), and CEO of CryptoLab. His research interests include computational number theory, cryptology, and information security. He is one of the co-inventors of HEaaN.

Education and career

Born in South Korea, Cheon received his Bachelor of Arts, Master of Science, and Ph.D, all in Mathematics from KAIST in 1991, 1993, and 1997, respectively.

Before joining SNU, he was a senior member of research staff at ETRI (1997-2000), a visiting scientist at Brown University (2000), and an assistant professor at ICU (2000-2003).

Dr. Jung Hee Cheon is also one of the inventors of braid cryptography, a group-based cryptography scheme, and was previously known for his work on an efficient algorithm for the strong DH problem.

Cheon is actively working on homomorphic encryptions and their applications, including machine learning,[1] homomorphic control systems,[2] and DNA computation on encrypted data.[3]

Awards

Service

Dr. Jung Hee Cheon has served as program chair and co-chair for multiple conferences, including ICISC 2008, MathCrypt 2013, ANTS-XI, Asiacrypt 2015, MathCrypt 2018/2019/2021, and PQC2021/2022.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] He was one of the two invited speakers at Asiacrypt 2020.[22] He also contributes as an editor of the Journal of Cryptology.[23]
