MIT CSAIL's Vinod Vaikuntanathan aims to improve encryption in a world with growing applications and evolving adversaries.

MIT researchers have developed a cryptographic system that could help neural networks identify promising drug candidates in massive pharmacological datasets, while keeping the data private.

Splinter uses and extends a new cryptographic primitive called Function Secret Sharing (FSS) that makes it up to an order of magnitude more efficient than prior systems based on Private Information Retrieval and garbled circuits.

Veil is a new deployment framework that allows web developers to prevent these information leaks, or at least reduce their likelihood.
