Built a directory site for cryptography researchers in India — CRIYPT (feedback welcome)
Hey all,
A few of us have been building CRIYPT (Cryptography Researchers of India) — a community-driven directory connecting cryptography and security researchers across India and the diaspora, spanning academia and industry.
The site's been live in a basic form for a while, but after some really encouraging feedback and support at TPMPC 2025, we rebuilt it incorporating a lot of that input. It's up now at cryptography-research-india.github.io.
What's on there:
- A searchable directory of researchers, filterable by institution and topic (MPC, ZK, PQC, etc.)
- A Labs page grouping researchers by their research group
- An open positions board for PhD/postdoc/industry roles
- A collaborations board for finding co-authors or implementation partners
- A community blog, and a feed of recent papers pulled from IACR ePrint
It's fully open source (repo linked on the site), and content gets added through GitHub issue forms — no account setup needed. If you're a faculty member or industry researcher working in this space and not listed yet, you can add yourself in a couple of minutes. (We don't support listing graduate students individually yet, but there's a collaborations board where students can connect with faculty.)
Would genuinely appreciate feedback — on the site, the idea, anything we're missing. And if you know someone who should be on there, feel free to point them our way.
