Research

Katz has worked on various aspects of cryptography, computer security, and theoretical computer science. His doctoral thesis was on designing protocols secure against man-in-the-middle attacks, most notably describing an efficient protocol for password-based authenticated key exchange. He has also worked in the areas of secure multi-party computation, public-key encryption, and digital signatures. He has served on the program committees of numerous conferences, and is currently an editor of the Journal of Cryptology, the premier journal of the field.

He has written two books: a textbook on modern cryptography (with Yehuda Lindell) that is used in many universities around the world, and a monograph on digital signature schemes.
