Yehuda Lindell is a professor in the Department of Computer Science at Bar-Ilan University where he conducts research on cryptography with a focus on the theory of secure computation and its application in practice.
Education and Academic Positions
Lindell received a BSc and Msc degree in computer science from Bar-Ilan University. He then obtained a PhD in computer science from the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2002. After a two year spell with the IBM's cryptography research group at T.J. Watson, Lindell returned in 2004 to Israel to take up an academic position at Bar-Ilan University. Since that time he has also been working as a cryptographic consultant to Safenet, formally Aladdin. Lindell's work on secure computation was recognized in 2009 by the award of a prestigious ERC starting grant.
Research
Lindell's has worked on various aspects of secure computation, with his main contributions focusing on the examination of the Yao garbled circuit construction. His most cited work is a joint paper with Benny Pinkas on privacy preserving data mining[1] in which the use of secure computation was proposed for performing data mining algorithms; in particular the ID3 algorithm. More recent work has focused on the design of two-party protocols which are secure against active adversaries,[2] the first proof of security for the basic Yao protocol,[3] and the introduction of the concept of covert adversarial models.[4]
Lindell is also the author of a textbook with Katz on modern cryptography. This textbook is utilized in many universities around the world as a standard reference work.
