Research Interests

My research interests are related to data science, with a focus on data security and privacy. Our data science-related research results include topics such as AI security and privacy (including DNN, LLM), database, data security and privacy, Web3, and blockchain systems.

 

Research Projects

  1. Web3 DID (Decentralized Identifier) Infrastructure

Our team is proud to introduce Web3polyu—the first fully open-source, decentralized identifier (DID) infrastructure that redefines a new paradigm for privacy protection in Web3 through innovative technologies such as anonymous credentials and LLM. Currently, the Web3 ecosystem is facing the challenge of balancing privacy with compliance, and Web3polyu was created precisely to address this issue. The platform leverages cutting-edge technologies like zero-knowledge proofs and BBS+ signatures to construct a comprehensive identity solution:

  • Issuers can generate credential templates efficiently with the help of LLM;
  • Users can protect their privacy while meeting regulatory requirements through selective disclosure, truly achieving data sovereignty;
  • Verifiers can authenticate users securely without leaking users' private information.
  • Developers can easily build applications for KYC, academic credential verification, anti-fraud, and more.

Web3polyu returns data sovereignty back to users, establishing a secure and trustworthy digital identity infrastructure for the Web3 ecosystem.

Based on the Web3polyu platform, we implement a university credential issurance system. In the system, a student can acquire credentials (e.g., degree) from the university, and present such credentials to a company for job finding. The DID registration and verifiable credential (VC) presentation flow can be viewed in the figure below.
