Speaker: Hong-Sheng Zhou Day: Wednesday, 3/21/2007 Room: ITEB 336 Time: 2:00pm Title: Securely Obfuscating Re-Encryption Abstract: In this talk I will present a recent paper about code obfuscation which is the first postive result for a traditional crypto functionality, re-encryption functionality. Note that other positive results in the standard model only apply to very simple point functions. To make the results meaningful, the authors use a new definition of obfuscation.
