Biography
Joseph Kai Sui Liu is a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Information Technology at Monash University. His current technical focus is cyber security in the cloud computing paradigm, smart city, lightweight security, and privacy enhanced technology. He has published more than 80 refereed journal articles and conference papers and received the Best Paper Award from ESORICS 2014.
Joseph received his PhD degree in Information Engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in July 2004, specializing in cyber security, protocols for securing wireless networks, privacy, authentication, and provable security. Prior to that he was a research scientist at Infocomm Security Department, Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) in Singapore for more than 7 years. He is the co-founder of ProvSec (International Conference on Provable Security). He has served as the program chair of ProvSec 2007, 2014, and on the program committee of more than 35 international conferences.

Research interests
My research mainly focuses on cyber security and applying various cryptographic technologies into real world systems. They include, but are not limited to:
- Cloud Security: cloud data protection, privacy in cloud, cloud access control
- Electronic Healthcare System Security: security and privacy
- Future Transportation Security: authentication in vehicular network, cyber security of electric vehicles
- Lightweight Security: cryptographic algorithms for lightweight device (e.g. sensors, RFID etc.)
- Applied Cryptography: public key cryptography, identity-based cryptography, digital signature, attribute-based system, anonymous signature (e.g. group signature, ring signature) etc.
