Bio
Dr. Cintas Canto is a computer engineer Assistant Professor at Marymount University. He received the Ph.D. degree at the University of South Florida (USF) with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, FL, in 2021. During his years at USF, he performed research on error detection of post-quantum cryptographic schemes at the Cryptographic Engineering and Hardware Security Research lab. Moreover, he received the M.Sc. and B.Sc. degree in Computer and Electrical Engineering from Tennessee Tech University, TN, in 2018 and 2016, respectively. He presents and publishes peer-reviewed research in hardware security, post-quantum cryptography, cryptographic engineering, and high-performance embedded systems design.
