Jintai Ding is one of the designers of the only quantum resistant key establishment standard by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), ML-KEM (FIPS 203), which was formerly called Kyber. He is the inventor and patent owner of the first quantum key exchange which was one of the two patents licensed to NIST for ML-KEM. He is Dean of the School of Mathematics and Physics at Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University, Director of Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University Post-Quantum Migration Interdisciplinary Laboratory, and a Charles Phelps Taft Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Cincinnati. Prior to joining XJTLU, he was a full professor at Tsinghua University. He received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1995. His current interest is in post-quantum cryptography. He and his colleagues developed Rainbow signature, a third round candidate and finalist in the NIST post-quantum standardization process. He and his colleagues completely broke a NIST second roun
