TWC: Medium: Collaborative Research: Computing on Cryptographic Data

该项目通过探索两个相关领域（私钥计算和身份验证数据计算）来开发处理敏感数据的新技术。目前，私钥是一种惰性对象，它使其持有者能够对所有消息执行加密操作，就像在生成签名时一样。该项目正在探索一种新的愿景，在这种愿景中，对私钥本身的计算将创建新的受限制的私钥，这些私钥只能执行受限制的操作，例如，只能对某些消息签名，而不能对其他消息签名。在对经过验证的数据进行计算的情况下（数据的完整性很重要，但保密性并不重要），该项目正在开发新的工具来对这些数据进行计算并获得经过验证的结果。该项目致力于传播研究成果，教育学生，并向行业推广。总的来说，拟议的项目将产生下一代管理认证和加密数据的技术，同时推进应用密码学领域和教育下一代研究人员。

This project is developing new techniques for manipulating sensitive data by exploring two related areas, computing on private keys and computing on authenticated data. Currently, a private key is an inert object that gives its holder the ability to perform a cryptographic operation on all messages, as may be the case when generating a signature. The project is exploring a new vision, in which computing on the private key itself creates new restricted private keys that can only perform restricted operations such as, for example, signing only some messages but not others. In the case of computing on authenticated data -- data for which integrity is important but secrecy is not -- the project is developing new tools to compute on such data and obtain authenticated results.The project is committed to the dissemination of research results, education of students, and outreach to industry. Overall, the proposed project will produce a next generation of technology for managing authenticated and encrypted data while advancing the field of applied cryptography and educating the next generation of researchers.
