Go Yamamoto

Go Yamamoto is a Senior Scientist at NTT Research. Go has previously worked as an engineer and technology lead at the NTT Innovation Institute, Inc., where they worked on security products such as the Threat Intelligence Database, Strong Authentication and Single Sign On, and IoT Security. Go also spent four years as a Guest Associate Professor at Kyushu University, lecturing on theories and applications of modern cryptography and leading joint research projects on the security of elliptic curve cryptography.

At NTT Research, Go has invented a new algorithm for proof of data integrity with deterministic tag that is 4.5 times faster than SHA-1 and is provably collision resistant. Go has also worked for standardization of elliptic curve cryptography at SECG, and invented a method to execute correct computation using an almost-totally corrupted computer as a black-box (self-correcting) when the computation has certain homomporphicity. Additionally, they have analyzed the feasibility and infeasibility of self-correcting over cryptographic computations, and invented a new security framework for cloud computing from self-correctable cryptographic modules. Go has also developed a prototype of the application for flexible cloud data protection.

Go Yamamoto earned a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Mathematical Sciences from The University of Tokyo and a Master of Business Administration - MBA from GLOBIS University - Graduate School of Management.

Some of their coworkers include Meiko Kotani - Program Manager, Brent Waters - Distinguished Scientist, and Vipul Goyal - Senior Scientist. Go Yamamoto reports to Yoshihisa Yamamoto, Director of NTT Research PHI Laboratories.
