Hi, I'm Scott Griffy.
-- Introduction --
I've done a lot of various computer-related stuff in my life. Currently, I'm very interested in applied and theoretical cryptography and how to use it to solve societal and technical problems. Specifically, I've recently been working with randomizable signatures and lattices.
-- Education/Jobs --
I'm currently a 4th year PhD student in computer science at Brown where I'm working with Anna Lysyanskaya.
I graduated from Portland State University with a master's in computer science in June 2019.
I got my bachelor's in computer science from Oregon State University.
I worked at Intel as a security researcher/engineer and co-authored a patent there.
More information in my CV.

My Master's thesis introduced a concrete version of a scheme for exceptional access. It is titled: Crumpled and Abraded Encryption: Implementation and Provably Secure Construction. PSU library link. Advisor: Charles V. Wright.
I presented work based on my master's thesis at DIMACS 2020 Workshop on Co-Development of Computer Science and Law
-- Other Projects --
I (along with others) run the cryptography reading group at Brown, so if you're in the area and would like to come present your work to the group, please reach out to me at myfirstname_mylastname@brown.edu.
I used to help out at a club called "GEMS" (Game & Entertainment-Making Students) at Portland State University.
I make Android games and apps.
