T. Shaska

My research interests are primarily on algebraic curves, weighted projective spaces and weighted heights, isogeny based cryptography and weighted homomorphic encryption, etc. In the last few years I have focused more on AI and machine learning. Below is a list of papers and preprints.

There are many versions of any of these papers online. I do NOT maintain nor update papers on http://arxiv.org/a/shaska_t_1 or other websites. Be aware that arxiv versions are not, for the most cases, the correct, published versions. Please check (and cite) the published versions.

If interested in collaborating or joining me in any research project, or find out about my recent work in homomorphic encryption, Machine learning, and post-quantum cryptography please fill the following form.
