Cryptography, the study of finding secure methods of communication, may seem to many of us as, well, cryptic. But in spite of its more theoretical and foundational nature in computing, cryptography is more important now than ever in securing private communication and other types of information that are no longer stored on our own private machines. Professor Yael Kalai of MIT CSAIL and Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research New England is a cryptographer and theoretical computer scientist working on state-of-the-art ways of securing computation.
