Computational Cryptography from Pseudoentanglement

The advent of pseudoentanglement and computational entanglement theory bootstrapped a wave of research at the intersection of computer science and information theory. In parallel, computational cryptography has undergone substantial development, prompted by the introduction of pseudorandom states...

CB-CPIR: Code-Based Computational Private Information Retrieval

A private information retrieval PIR scheme is a protocol that allows a user to retrieve a file from a database without revealing the identity of the desired file to a curious database. Given a distributed data storage system, efficient PIR can be achieved by making assumptions about the colluding...

RSA Conference 2019: Cryptographers' Panel Decries Adi Shamir's Visa Issues

SAN FRANCISCO – This year’s RSA Conference Cryptographers’ Panel started on a sour note when it was announced that longtime participant Adi Shamir, one of the inventors of the RSA algorithm, would be absent because of visa issues with the U.S. Department of State. Shamir, who addressed the...
