Roberta Cimorelli Belfiore is a PhD student in Computer Science within the PhD Program in Biology and Applied Sciences (Applied Sciences curriculum) at the University of Molise, Italy, under the supervision of Prof. Anna Lisa Ferrara. Her research combines theoretical cryptographic foundations with practical applications, focusing on cryptographic access control, privacy-preserving authentication, forward security and quantum-resilient protocols. Her recent work explores variants of cryptographic primitives such as Identity-Based Matchmaking Encryption, Access Control Encryption, Hierarchical Key Assignment Schemes and Sanitizable Signatures.
