Overview

As artificial intelligence reshapes financial services and quantum computing looms on the horizon, financial institutions face a double bind: how to extract insight from sensitive data while ensuring it remains secure, compliant, and future-proof. A powerful new frontier is emerging, where AI converges with post-quantum cryptography, fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), and zero-knowledge proofs to enable secure, high-value collaboration across organizations and borders.

In this webinar, we highlight breakthrough work at this convergence point, featuring a research collaboration between MIT researcher Daniel Aronoff and SCBX, one of Southeast Asia’s most innovative and tech-forward financial institutions. They are joined by MIT cryptography expert and co-inventor of Zcash, Madars Virza, to unpack the technologies making this shift possible.

You’ll also hear firsthand from SCBX leaders Nut Chukamphaeng and Tutanon Sinthuprasith, who will share how their organization is applying these advanced tools to enable collaborative, AI-powered credit scoring while meeting the highest standards of security and privacy. The session will feature insights from their recent research paper:

“An AI-Driven Post-Quantum Cryptographically Secure Workflow for Collaborative Credit Scoring.”

The hour concludes with lightning talks from two emerging MIT-connected startups, each offering bold new solutions for secure data collaboration and encrypted computation, technologies with game-changing potential for global finance.

This session is designed for innovation executives, security strategists, and technology leaders preparing their institutions for the post-quantum, AI-powered era.

Welcome and Introductions
Program Director, MIT Industrial Liaison Program
Jim Flynn
Jim Flynn
Program Director

Before MIT, Jim was the assistant dean of research business development at the UMass Amherst College of Information and Computer Sciences. Jim founded, built, and sold multiple technology companies in fintech and online media. He has bootstrapped startups and closed venture capital, angel, and private equity funding rounds. Jim also served as the Chief Operating Officer of a public company and a subsidiary of Pitney Bowes. He began his career at AT&T as a software developer, hardware engineer, and national account manager. Jim has authored patents and wrote one of the first books on Java programming. Out of all the roles he's held, Jim's favorite job title by far is dedicated dad of four. He earned a BS from Manhattan College and an MBA with concentrations in finance and international business from New York University.

Research Spotlight
Research Scientist, MIT Media Lab
Daniel Aronoff
Daniel Aronoff
Research Scientist

Daniel Aronoff is a Research Scientist at the MIT Media Lab. He has published two peer-reviewed books on the economic foundations of the 2008 global financial crisis. His research on digital currencies is focused on two areas. One area is game theoretic analysis of the consensus protocols that underlie cryptocurrencies and the design of new protocols to improve security.  The other area is the design of smart contracts to improve the performance of financial markets in environments where money and securities are appended to distributed ledgers. Daniel received his BSc in Philosophy and Economics with first-class honors from the London School of Economics and his PhD in Economics from MIT.

Research Scientist, Digital Currency Initiative
Madars Virza
Madars Virza
Research Scientist

Madars Virza is a research scientist at the MIT Media Lab’s Digital Currency Initiative, specializing in cryptocurrencies and privacy technologies. He is a co-inventor of Zerocash and a co-founder of Zcash, work that helped pioneer zkSNARKs (zero-knowledge proofs) for secure, private digital payments. Virza was a primary author of libsnark, a leading library for zero-knowledge proofs, and earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from MIT, where his widely recognized thesis focused on these cryptographic tools. His influential research, including the award-winning Zerocash protocol, has had a major impact on privacy and digital currency systems.

Madars Virza and Daniel Aronoff will discuss how AI and post-quantum cryptography intersect, focusing on tools like fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs). Their talk will show how these methods enable confidential data analysis and verification without exposing sensitive information, offering strong privacy protections that remain secure against quantum attacks.
