Computer Scientists Achieve ‘Crown Jewel’ of Cryptography.
A cryptographic tool called indistinguishability obfuscation has seemed too good to be true.
"A cryptographic protocol is only as secure as its assumptions, and previous attempts at iO were built on ultimately shaky foundations. The new protocol, depends on security assumptions that have been widely used and studied in the past."
