We are developing techniques and tools to enable useful computation to be done while preserving data privacy.
Obliv-C A simple GCC wrapper that makes it easy to embed secure computation protocols inside regular C programs, which exposing enough about the nature of data-oblivious computation to enable efficient protocols. [github] |
