๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ About Me

Hi, there! Iโ€™m Jingcheng Yang. You can also call me Jesse. Iโ€™m a first-year PhD student from Tsinghua Universityโ€™s Network and Information Security Lab (NISL), advised by Prof. Jianjun Chen.

My research interests include Web Security, Protocol Security, and AI Security. I focus on systematically discovering protocol vulnerabilities and building automated vulnerability mining systems, as well as constructing agents to more efficiently uncover security flaws. Additionally, I am committed to building a more secure Internet infrastructure. I have submitted contributions to the IETF to supplement the JWT Best Current Practice (BCP), which were incorporated into the latest version of draft-ietf-oauth-rfc8725bis.

Beyond research, I am also a CTF player in Tsinghua Universityโ€™s CTF team Redbud, specializing in the Web Security.
