Indistinguishability Obfuscation from Well-Studied Assumptions

by Aayush Jain

Overview

Software obfuscation is used in cryptography to transform source code to make it unintelligible without altering what it computes. The research described in this book, for which the author won the ACM Dissertation Award, establishes the feasibility of mathematically rigorous software obfuscation from well-studied hardness conjectures.
