Who am I?

I am a software engineer in networking, communication architecture, and security & privacy in network. Currently I am working for Zettant Inc., Japan since Jan. 2018 as a Principal Researcher. I am also an Associate Professor at Graduate School of Information Science, University of Hyogo, Japan since Jan. 2020, and a Visiting Scholar at ATR Inc., Japan since May. 2020. I have been working for KDDI Corp. and KDDI R&D Labs., Inc. (Now KDDI Research, Inc.), Japan from Apr. 2006 to Dec. 2017 as a strategic planner and a researcher for security, applied mathematics and networking architecture. I had been with Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), CA, USA from 2013 to 2014, and with CyLab, Carnegie Mellon University, PA, USA in 2022 as a visiting researcher. I received BE, ME, and PhD in Engineering all from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2004, 2006 and 2012, respectively.

My detailed CV is given here (pdf).

My current development projects and research interests are in:

Privacy and security in Domain Name Systems (DNS), and other related systems on the Internet and Internet services.
New computing and networking architecture and so-called ‘security-by-design’. Currently, I am interested in edge computing architecture, its security and privacy, e.g., new theoretical (and mathematical) framework of secure in-networking communication and computation, privacy-preserving computation at untrusted third-party edge environment.
Information-centric networking (Named-data networking; NDN) and its brand-new security mechanisms, e.g., security in edge named function environment.
Information security and privacy mechanisms using coding theoretic techniques, e.g., secret sharing, private information retrieval, etc.

Software Development Projects

Most of them are Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects.

Mutualized Oblivious DNS (μODNS) project: https://junkurihara.github.io/dns/
rpxy - A simple and ultrafast reverse-proxy for multiple domain names with TLS termination, written in pure Rust https://github.com/junkurihara/rust-rpxy
rust-gd - A Rust Implementation of Generalized Deduplication https://github.com/junkurihara/rust-gd
jscu - A Universal Cryptographic Library for JavaScript: https://github.com/junkurihara/jscu
etc… See my GitHub
