- Operating system
- The Internet
David Chaum spends much of his time researching Computer security, Internet privacy, Undeniable signature, ecash and Cryptography.
His Computer security research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Digital signature and Identification.
His Digital signature research includes elements of Anonymous web browsing and Electronic voting.
In his study, Theoretical physics, Verifiable computing and Gas meter prover is inextricably linked to Zero-knowledge proof, which falls within the broad field of Undeniable signature.
When carried out as part of a general Cryptography research project, his work on Cryptographic protocol is frequently linked to work in Distance-bounding protocol and Sign, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His work in Mix network addresses issues such as Onion routing, which are connected to fields such as Public-key cryptography and Dining cryptographers problem.
His most cited work include:
- Untraceable electronic mail, return addresses, and digital pseudonyms (3752 citations)
- Blind Signatures for Untraceable Payments (2522 citations)
- Group signatures (1444 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Computer security, Theoretical computer science, Cryptography, Internet privacy and Voting.
His Computer security research incorporates themes from Ballot, Verifiable secret sharing and Electronic voting.
His work carried out in the field of Theoretical computer science brings together such families of science as Signature, Undeniable signature, Correctness, Zero-knowledge proof and Commitment scheme.
His work focuses on many connections between Cryptography and other disciplines, such as Public-key cryptography, that overlap with his field of interest in Pseudonym, Dining cryptographers problem and Pseudonymity.
His Internet privacy research includes themes of Brother and Credential.
David Chaum interconnects Cash, Payment system, Payment and Smart card in the investigation of issues within Blind signature.
