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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The quest for unbreakable encryption may have finally succeeded. A team of researchers has created a tool capable of making any program impervious to attacks. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) ...

At the time, such skepticism was widespread. Indistinguishability obfuscation, if it could be built, would be able to hide not just collections of data but the inner workings of a computer program ...
