Billions of people worldwide use the Internet for all manner of transactions, but it was never designed with security or privacy in mind. Therefore much Internet communication and metadata (such as identities) are unnecessarily exposed not only to third parties, but also to the communicating parties themselves.The most popular metadata-protecting privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) today support millions of daily users, but have fundamental design shortcomings that prevent them from significantly growing. This research program will close this gap by constructing innovative PETs that can be used by far more people than currently possible, to protect communication contents and metadata.

全世界有数十亿人使用互联网进行各种交易，但它从未考虑过安全或隐私。因此，许多互联网通信和元数据（如身份）不仅不必要地暴露给第三方，而且还暴露给通信方本身。当今最流行的元数据保护隐私增强技术（PET）支持数百万日常用户，但有基本的设计缺陷，阻止他们显着增长。这项研究计划将通过构建创新的PET来缩小这一差距，这些PET可以被比目前更多的人使用，以保护通信内容和元数据。
