This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070), provides $152,232 to Brown University for collaborative research expanding the realm of oblivious transfer from October 1, 2022 to May 31, 2024. The research focuses on developing more efficient constructions of oblivious transfer with advanced functionality and security strengthening, which can enable more efficient protocols for applications like secure multi-party computation and zero-knowledge proofs. It also investigates improving the efficiency and functionality of private set intersection protocols, with applications in computing on sensitive data privately. Additionally, the research aims to identify and prove complexity or efficiency barriers against expanding oblivious transfer. Overall, the funding supports advancing cryptographic tools and protocols with societal benefits like enabling privacy-preserving computation on big data.
