RA/PhD researchers
Current researchers
Markku Saarinen	Markku is originally from Finland (more recently a global citizen). He has completed his thesis on Cryptanalysis of Dedicated Hash Functions and is now working as a research assistant.
Zhiqian Xu	Zhiqian is a part-time student working for FedEx in the US. She is interested in the security aspects of distributed storage systems and commenced her studies in October 2009.
Michelle Garner	Michelle joined us from the University of York in October 2009. She is interested in cryptography and is currently looking at key predistribution techniques.
Fahad Al-Arifi	Fahad commenced his PhD in January 2009 and is working on the security of web metering technology.
Rosli Daud	Rosli is an academic at MARA University of Technology in Malaysia on study leave from July 2008 to obtain his PhD. He holds general interests in cryptography and has begun his research by looking at cryptographic access control.
Qin Li	Qin joined the ISG in January 2008 from RMIT in Australia and is generally interested in the field of cryptography and related applications. He is currently researching reputation systems.
Julia Novak	Julia is a combinatorial mathematician studying generalised notions of key distribution patterns, which are a special family of key predistribution schemes that rely on intersection properties of sets to establish group keys in a multiuser environment. She now lives in New Zealand (how far do you have to go to escape your supervisor?) and hopes to complete with some moral support from the University of Auckland.
Past researchers
Dr Maura Paterson	Maura Paterson was the most recent in a line of pure mathematicans from Adelaide who made their way to Royal Holloway. She was employed on a three-year research prpject working on key establishment for wireless sensor networks between January 2007 and September 2009. Maura now has a lectureship at Birkbeck College, University of London.
Thomas Page	Tom works as a programmer. His thesis The application of hash chains and hash structures to cryptography develops a toolkit of techniques for designing and applying generalisations of hash chains to different environments such as lightweight authentication, digital signatures, online auctions and key establishment. Tom was co-supervised by Siaw-Lynn Ng.
Geong Sen Poh	Geong Sen is a researcher with the Malaysian Institute of Microelectronic Systems. His thesis Design and Analysis of Fair Content Tracing Protocols concerned new approaches to proposing protocols that allow digital content to be traced in ways that remain fair to both distributors and acquirers of content. He completed his PhD in April 2009.
Miss Laiha Mat Kiah	Miss is a member of academic staff at the University of Malaya. She completed her thesis A Key Management Framework for Secure Group Communication in Wireless Mobile Environments in July 2007, extending previous work for fixed multicast networks.
Thomas Martin	Thomas wrote a thesis A Set Theoretic Approach to Broadcast Encryption on the finer subtleties of the efficiency of some of the most well-known techniques for key distribution in broadcast environments. He was co-supervised by Peter Wild and now works for Khalifa University.
