Ron Rothblum

Ron Rothblum is an associate professor in the Faculty of Computer Science at the Technion, where he works on the theory of cryptography, proof systems, and zero knowledge. His research, published at venues like STOC, CRYPTO, and Eurocrypt, spans succinct arguments, interactive oracle proofs, error-correcting codes, and the foundations of the Fiat-Shamir transform, including practical attacks on its real-world use. He has also collaborated with the industry side of zero knowledge, including work with Succinct.
