Projet EnBiD: Encryption for Big Data

The goals of the EnBid proposal are:

• To design pairing and lattice-based functional encryption that are more efficient and ultimately viable in practice
• To obtain a richer understanding of expressive functional encryption schemes and to push the boundaries from encrypting data to encrypting software.

The long-term vision is the ubiquitous use of functional encryption to secure our data and our computation, just as public-key encryption is widely used today to secure our communication. Realizing this vision requires significant advances in the foundations of functional encryption, which is the target of this project.
