Zhenhua Chen's research centers on cryptographic techniques for protecting data privacy, including searchable encryption, attribute-based encryption, functional encryption, and homomorphic encryption, with applications to cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and mobile location-sharing services. Some recent work also extends into federated learning privacy (feature unlearning) and applied optimization problems such as electric vehicle routing. This work is largely theoretical and system-oriented, developing new cryptographic schemes and proving their security properties.
