Secure Computation Kickoff
30 August 2011
Today (August 30th) we are hosting the Kickoff Meeting for our new NSF-funded 5-year project, Practical Secure Two-Party Computation: Techniques, Tools, and Applications. This is a collaborative research project with abhi shelat and Aaron Mackey at UVa, Michael Hicks and Jonathan Katz at the University of Maryland, and Steven Myers at Indiana University. The goal of the project is to make privacy-preserving computation practical and accessible enough to be used routinely in applications such as personalized genetics, medical research, and privacy-preserving biometrics.
