DESCRIPTION:By : Raluca Ada Popa\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\n
 IC Faculty candidateAbstract\nTheft of confidential data is prevalent. In 
 most applications\, confidential data is stored at servers. Thus\, existin
 g systems naturally try to prevent adversaries from compromising these ser
 vers. However\, experience has shown that adversaries still find a way to 
 break in and steal the data.\nIn this talk\, I will describe a new approac
 h to protecting data confidentiality even when attackers get access to all
  server data: building practical systems that compute on encrypted data wi
 thout access to the decryption key. In this setting\, I designed and built
  a database system (CryptDB)\, a web application platform (Mylar)\, and tw
 o mobile systems\, as well as developed new cryptographic schemes for them
 . I showed that these systems support a wide range of applications and inc
 ur low performance overhead. The talk will focus primarily on CryptDB and 
 Mylar.\nMy work has already had impact: Google uses CryptDB’s design for
  their new Encrypted BigQuery service\, and a medical application of Bosto
 n’s Newton-Wellesley hospital is secured with Mylar. Looking forward\, t
 his approach promises to solve confidentiality problems in other settings\
 , such as big data systems\, genomics processing\, and machine learning ov
 er sensitive data.Biography\nRaluca Ada Popa is a PhD candidate at MIT wor
 king in security\, systems\, and applied cryptography. As part of her PhD 
 work\, she built practical systems that compute over encrypted data as wel
 l as designed new encryption schemes that underlie these systems. Raluca i
 s the recipient of a Google PhD Fellowship for secure cloud computing\, Jo
 hnson award for best CS Masters of Engineering thesis from MIT\, and CRA O
 utstanding undergraduate award from the ACM. Raluca received her undergrad
 uate degree from MIT with two BS degrees\, in computer science and in math
 ematics.More information
