Cryptographic obfuscation and functional encryption have emerged as pivotal tools in contemporary cryptography, offering novel ways to secure software and data while preserving functionality. At its ...

In 2018, Aayush Jain, a graduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles, traveled to Japan to give a talk about a powerful cryptographic tool he and his colleagues were developing. As he ...

Titled “Indistinguishability Obfuscation from Well-Founded Assumptions,” the paper resolves a long-standing problem of designing provably secure methods for obfuscating programs based on well-founded ...

A new paper titled "Indistinguishability Obfuscation from Well-Founded Assumptions" may have unlocked a decades-old encryption puzzle. Is it possible to encrypt a computer program such that the code ...

As a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1996, Amit Sahai was fascinated by the strange notion of a “zero-knowledge” proof, a type of mathematical protocol for convincing ...

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NTT Research, Inc., a division of NTT (TYO:9432), today announced that a paper co-authored by Cryptography & Information Security (CIS) Lab Director Brent Waters ...

You might think that homomorphic cryptography, obfuscation techniques and privacy concerns have nothing in common. You would be mistaken. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a ...

A long-sought “holy grail” in cryptography is poised to change the way we protect sensitive information. Today’s standard encryption schemes take an all-or-nothing approach. Once scrambled, your data ...
