5.5 million from DFF to Jesper Buus Nielsen

Congratulations to Professor Jesper Buus Nielsen who has received DKK 5.5 mill. from Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF – Natur og Univers) to do research in better theory for better practice in MPC. Secure multiparty computation (MPC) is a collection of cryptographic techniques allowing computation on encrypted data without leaking information to anyone involved in the computation except the intended result. MPC facilitates a large spectrum of applications involving confidential data, for instance collaborative machine learning across data from competing companies.
