Protecting privacy at the ballot box: Secure multiparty computation work could do this and more
Computer science and computer engineering researchers at Purdue (in both security and programming languages) are working together on a task to develop secure multiparty applications, making the technology accessible outside the realm of experts. The project, named HACCLE, recently was awarded grant funding by IARPA’s Homomorphic Encryption Computing Techniques with Overhead Reduction and will receive up to $10.7 million.
Predicting protein function and annotating complex pathways
Professor Daisuke Kihara and team have created novel computational approaches for predicting protein functions. The team’s methods challenge the logic behind conventional protein function studies and propose tools that may better capture the complicated nature of protein interactions in biological processes.
