Hi. I'm Mayank Varia.
Thank you for visiting my website.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
Thank you for visiting my website.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I am an applied cryptographer who studies connections with math, engineering, and economics.
I am the Director of Research for the Modular Approach to Cloud Security project.
I went to graduate school at MIT, where I studied program obfuscation with Ran Canetti.
You can find a full list of my papers at DBLP. For some of my conference papers, full versions are available through the IACR.
My PhD thesis provides concrete methods to “obfuscate” or garble computer programs in a provably secure manner while preserving their functionality.
I am leveraging novel cryptographic techniques to perform privacy-preserving database searches that protect the raw data & queries.
I am developing new information theoric tools that provide bounds on the security of cryptographic algorithms.
I led software engineering teams that developed software to evaluate the performance of privacy-preserving databases and homomorphic encryption schemes.
I think about the data structures and models used to store provenance data, and the best ways to protect them.
I like to explore the relationships between trust and security in the digital world.
