New Techniques for Secure Computation

Objective

Secure computation is a general-purpose tool for processing sensitive data without compromising its
confidentiality or integrity. In recent years, significant research efforts have been invested in optimizing
and implementing secure computation protocols and related cryptographic primitives such as fully
homomorphic encryption and program obfuscation.
The proposed project will explore new techniques for secure computation and related primitives.
The new techniques are expected to enhance the asymptotic and concrete efficiency of current solutions
and extend the known relations between secure computation and other problems in cryptography and
computational complexity theory. The research will span the following directions:
• Succinct secure computation via homomorphic secret sharing, exploring new research directions
that were opened by recent works of the PI;
• Protecting protocols against malicious parties, with relevance to efficient general-purpose program
obfuscation;
• Protecting protocols against general information leakage

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

ERC-ADG - Advanced Grant

Host institution

TECHNION - ISRAEL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
