Dr Mark Manulis was awarded a research project titled "Private Multi-Party Authentication and Key Exchange (PRIMAKE)". The goal of PRIMAKE is to provide à la carte solutions for privacy-preserving secure communications and user interaction. The project aims at the design and analysis of efficient provably private cryptographic protocols that will form a basis for a range of privacy-preserving applications. PRIMAKE protocols will give users full control over their own data, protect their anonymity, and eliminate user profiling. PRIMAKE protocols will have formal proofs of security and privacy, obtained using modern cryptographic techniques. PRIMAKE is a three-year project funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG).
