Oded Goldreich (Hebrew: עודד גולדרייך; b. 1957) is a professor of Computer Science at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. 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), and Computational Complexity: A Conceptual Perspective (2008).
