His research interests lie within the theory of computing. Specifically, the interplay of randomness and computation, the foundations of cryptography and complexity theory at large.
Goldreich made notable contributions to the development of zero knowledge proofs and in secure function evaluation.
Goldreich also authored several books including Foundations of Cryptography which comes in two volumes (volume 1 in 2001 and volume 2 in 2004), Modern Cryptography, Probabilistic Proofs and Pseudorandomness (1998). His current work includes a book in progress Computational Complexity: A Conceptual Perspective (2006).
