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 ...

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 ...

First mathematically formalized in 2001, the problem defines a notion of program obfuscation called indistinguishability obfuscation (iO). Since then, the question of constructing iO with provable ...

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 ...
