Benny Pinkas
Secure computation makes it possible for parties to derive results together without simply pooling all underlying data. Pinkas's work helped turn important multi-party-computation ideas into systems and practical protocols.
Benny Pinkas is a professor at Bar-Ilan University whose research includes applied cryptography, computer security, blockchain security, and privacy.
Secure computation
His research page describes contributions to secure multi-party computation, including privacy-preserving auctions, the Fairplay system, secure AES computation, and private set intersection.
Security research
Pinkas has also published on authentication, random-number-generator security, cloud-storage deduplication, and network-security questions. The account emphasizes research grounded in explicit security assumptions and proofs.
Academic record
Bar-Ilan records his Ph.D. at the Weizmann Institute of Science and lists cryptography, computer security, and private communications as research fields.
