crypto@berkeley

The Cryptography Group is part of the Theory and Security groups in the EECS Department at the University of California, Berkeley.

Research in the group spans topics in cryptography from theory to applications. We study foundational questions on subjects such as computing on encrypted data, functional encryption, program obfuscation, verifiable computation, zero-knowlege proofs, and others. We also investigate concrete efficiency aspects and implementations of cryptographic protocols, as well as build practical systems that use cryptography to address real-world security problems.

If you would like to join Berkeley's EECS Department as a graduate student, apply to our Ph.D. program.
