Workshops and Tutorials
Tutorial at FOCS 2014: October 18-21, 2014
The Center for Encrypted Functionalities is organizing a Tutorial on Obfuscation at IEEE FOCS 2014:
Brief Description:
The goal of general-purpose program obfuscation is to make an arbitrary computer program “unintelligible” while preserving its functionality. Obfuscation allows us to achieve a powerful capability: software that can keep a secret. This tutorial will cover recent advances in obfuscation research, yielding for the first time constructions of general-purpose obfuscation mechanisms based on firm mathematical foundations. This work has been hailed as a "watershed moment for cryptography" (Quanta, the Simons Foundation Magazine).
