Abstract:
Today, end users generate large volumes of private data, some of which may be
stored on the cloud in an encrypted form. The need to perform computation on
this data to extract meaningful information has become ubiquitous.
The following fundamental questions arise in this setting: Can the cloud
compute on the encrypted data of multiple users without knowing their secret
keys? What functions can be computed in this manner? What if the users are
mutually distrustful?
My research provides the first positive resolution of these questions. In this
talk I will describe these new results and my other interests.
