Ms Eman Alashwali

I received my MSc. degree in Information Security from University College London (UCL) in 2012. My master’s thesis examined the security of RSA public-keys, in particular, it examined the factorable RSA keys issue in TLS servers on the Internet. Prior to that, I obtained my BSc. in Computer Science from King Abdulaziz University (KAU) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I am also affiliated with KAU as a Lecturer in the College of Computing and IT (CCIT). For more information about me, please visit my Github profile.

I enjoy reading and learning new things, especially those related to my field. Apart from Computer Science and Cyber Security, I also enjoy art in general. An archive for some of my very old drawings and graphic design work is available on Behance.

My research interests are in networks and internet security.
