Dr. Shekh Faisal Abdul Latip is currently working at the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). He received his PhD degree in 2012 from the University of Wollongong, Australia, in the field of Cryptography. Prior to his PhD studies, he obtained M.Sc in Information Security from the Royal Holloway, University of London in 2003. He obtained both B.Sc (Hons) in Computer Science (2000) and Diploma in Electronic Engineering (1994) from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM).

In 2012 he established and became the Head of Information Security and Digital Forensics Research Lab (INSFORLAB) which is now known as Information Security, Digital Forensics and Computer Networking Research Group (INSFORNET), a research group under the Center for Advanced Computing Technology (C-ACT) in UTeM.

He was the General Chair for the Seventh International Conference on Provable Security (ProvSec 2013). Currently he is the Associate Editor-In-Chief for the OIC-CERT Journal of Cyber Security and a member of the editorial board for International Journal of Cryptology Research. He has served as a reviewer for various scientific journals such as Journal of Systems and Software (Elsevier), Journal of Computer Standards and Interfaces (Elsevier), the IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, etc.

His main research interest focuses on symmetric-key cryptography (i.e. design and cryptanalysis of block ciphers, stream ciphers, hash functions and MACs). He is currently a member of focus group and one of the evaluation panel experts for the MySEAL project a.k.a “Senarai Algoritma Kriptografi Terpecaya Negara“, a project to recommend a list of trusted cryptographic algorithms to be used by the public and private sectors in Malaysia. To promote new ideas and activities in cryptology related areas in Malaysia, he joint and became a member of executive committee for the Malaysian Society for Cryptology Research (MSCR).
