Compiler for Privacy-Preserving Protocols (E04)

• Subject Area: Software Engineering and Programming Languages
• Term: since 2014
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 236615297

The project’s goal is to develop scalable and practical privacy-preserving multi-party computation (MPC) protocols to allow the private processing of sensitive data in real world applications and to support software engineers by designing tools that automatically generate secure MPC protocols. For efficiency, the project constructs hierarchical MPC protocols that scale to a large number of parties without relaxing privacy guarantees. For agility, the project enhances existing tools to allow the automatic and optimal composition of a wide range of cryptographic protocols and primitives.
