As data is being more widely collected and used, privacy and statistical validity are becoming increasingly difficult to protect. Sound solutions are needed, as ad hoc approaches have resulted in several high-profile failures.

Seminar • Cryptography, Security, and Privacy — Breaking Cryptographic Barriers

Can we provably immunize protocols against coordinated attacks on the internet? Can we verify that computation is performed correctly while preserving the privacy of underlying data? Can we enable mutually distrusting participants to securely compute on distributed private data?

These are some of the core challenges that lie at the heart of modern cryptography and secure protocol design.
