Naresh Goud Boddu

I am a researcher in quantum information and (post-)quantum cryptography, with experience spanning both academia and industry. My research centers on tamper-resilient quantum cryptography: non-malleable codes, secret sharing, and extractors secure against quantum adversaries, as well as quantum communication complexity.

I am currently a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore. My postdoctoral research at NTT Research was mentored by Prof. Vipul Goyal and Prof. Dakshita Khurana.

My work has been recognised by a Singapore NRF Postdoctoral Award, a Best Early-Career Paper Award at AsiaCrypt 2025, and an INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship from the Government of India.

My research is unified by one theme: security under quantum adversaries. It spans foundational questions in tamper-resilient and non-malleable cryptography, quantum randomness extraction, and quantum communication complexity, together with applied post-quantum zero-knowledge for real financial systems. My broader goal is a coherent theory of quantum tamper-resilient cryptography and lattice-based zero-knowledge, and to turn these methods into deployable, quantum-resistant systems. I am always glad to hear from students and collaborators interested in these directions.

Outside of research, I love spending time outdoors, especially hiking. A few snapshots from trails I have explored.
