Dr Ashley Fraser

Lecturer in Security and Protection Science

Research Overview

My research is generally concerned with the security and privacy of cryptographic primitives and schemes, and by extension the resulting systems that are built using cryptography. I have constructed definitions of security and privacy for a number of systems and protocols, including electronic voting protocols and incoercible digital signature. Recently, I have been interested in the analysis of real-world protocols, particularly decentralised identity management systems, or so-called self-sovereign identity systems.
