ASecuritySite PodcastWorld-leaders in Cryptography: Srini DevadasSrini Devadas an Edwin Sibley Webster Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). His current research interests are in applied cryptography, computer security and computer architecture. Srini was awarded an a master's and a PhD degree in electrical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley - under the supervision of Arthur Richard Newton. He was an inventor of Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs), and, In 2014, he received the IEEE Computer Society's Edward J. McCluskey Technical Achievement Award for the invention of PUFs and secure single-chip processor architectures. In 2018, Srini...2025-05-081h 30
CSAIL Alliances PodcastsWhat's keeping two cybersecurity researchers up at night with Srini Devadas and Vinod VaikuntanathanMIT CSAIL Professors Srini Devadas and Vinod Vaikuntanathan join the CSAIL Alliances Podcast for a conversation about cybersecurity, addressing topics from federated protocols, the importance of data-driven approaches, and how quantum computing could change the landscape.

Center for Advanced Studies (CAS) Research Focus Physics and SecurityHardware Acceleration of Cryptographic Primitives and ProtocolsPrivacy of data processing is ensured using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), where an untrusted device computes on encrypted data. Integrity is assured through the use of Verifiable Computation (VC), where the untrusted device produces a proof of correct computation that can be verified by the user. Unfortunately, state-of-the-art approaches to FHE and VC incur a slowdown that ranges from four to six orders of magnitude over native computation, meaning that this approach is only viable for small-scale programs today. Srini Devadas describes ongoing research on hardware acceleration infrastructure to enable the deployment of FHE and VC for important classes of...2022-05-111h 24
CSAIL Alliances PodcastsParallel Software and Anonymizing Networks with MIT CSAIL's Srini DevadasMIT CSAIL professor Srini Devadas describes computer architecture, computer security and their intersection. He gives further insight into the conflict between ease of programming and performance and the communication between these threads through parallel software, such as message passing or shared memory abstraction (e.g. Google Docs).2016-07-0519 min
