Dr Razi Arshad

About

I am lecturer in Cyber Security in the Department of Networks and Digital Media, School of Computer Science and Mathematics. I obtained PhD in Mathematical Cryptography (with a focus on symmetric key cryptography) from Otto-von-Guericke University, Magdeburg, Germany. I obtained Masters in Information Security from Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.

Before joining Kingston University London, I was working as a Research Fellow in Security and Privacy research group at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK. I worked on the Characterisation and Quantification of User Privacy in compliance with international regulatory standards.

I also worked as a Cybersecurity consultant for several tech companies, including Xprime Inc., CodeX Inc., SNSKIES Pvt. Ltd., and Graxo Consulting Pvt. Ltd. I am a certified ISO/IEC 17025 Lead Assessor and an ISO/IEC 27001 ISMS Lead Auditor.

My research interests lie at the intersection of security and privacy, with a strong emphasis on applied cryptography. The aim of my research is to address critical security issues and develop robust cryptographic solutions that can be widely adopted to protect sensitive information and ensure user privacy.
