David Cash
Encryption is only useful at scale when systems can still retrieve and use protected information safely. Cash's work studies cryptographic methods for navigating encrypted data and the security assumptions behind them.
David Cash is a University of Chicago computer scientist working in cryptography, computer security, and theoretical computer science.
Encrypted data
His faculty profile describes work on securely navigating encrypted data, quantum-secure cryptography, and foundational cryptographic results. These subjects address the tension between useful data systems and confidentiality.
University work
Cash joined the University of Chicago computer-science faculty in 2018. The department describes his work as spanning public-key encryption, post-quantum cryptography, encrypted databases and search.
Security relevance
Research on encrypted search and data access helps identify both what encrypted services can safely offer and the metadata or leakage risks that system designers must consider.
