Logic Synthesis for Secure Computation

Abstract

The unprecedented increase in computation requirements by AI/ML applications and the proliferation of smart software systems in everyday and everyone’s life pose a serious challenge for the protection of our privacy.  Logic synthesis is an important vehicle to realize secure computation and communication of information. This talk outlines models and algorithms for automating some secure computation schemes.
