Cryptography

We work broadly in all areas in Cryptography: applied as well as foundational.

This includes topics such as zero-knowledge proofs, secure multi-party computation, blockchains and cryptocurrencies, game theory, verifiable computation, program obfuscation, computing on encrypted data, differential privacy, non-malleable cryptography, leakage-resilient cryptography, and anonymous communication.

Innovative CMU Secure Blockchain Initiative Research, in Collaboration with Anaxi Labs, Focuses on Improving the Efficiency of Cryptographic Proof Systems

Tuesday, December 10, 2024
A team of Carnegie Mellon University researchers featuring Riad Wahby , assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Kunming Jiang , Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department, and Fraser Brown, assistant professor in the Software and Societal Systems Department, is overcoming the tradeoff between approaches that optimize for the CPU emulator, which is generally easier to program, versus the direct translation approach, which is potentially much less expensive in new research that is supported by Anaxi Labs.

Searching for the Limits of Local Error Correction

Tuesday, April 30, 2024
Information can be finicky, especially if it has to travel. Whether you're making a phone call over a wireless network, playing music from a CD, or saving a document to a hard drive, when you transform or transmit information from one location to another, it has to go through many channels. Peter Manohar, a Ph.D. student in CMU's Computer Science Department, worked with former assistant professor Pravesh Kothari to develop ways to improve error-correction algorithms by breaking apart the math behind them.
