Elette Boyle

Elette Boyle is an Associate Professor at Reichman University (IDC Herzliya) and a Senior Scientist at NTT Research. She holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from MIT (advised by Shafi Goldwasser and Yael Tauman Kalai) and an undergraduate degree from Caltech.

• Education
  • Ph.D. in Mathematics, MIT
  • B.S. in Mathematics, Caltech

Her research focuses on cryptographic solutions for secure data processing, particularly in secure multi-party computation, function/homomorphic secret sharing, and distributed point functions. Recent work explores topology-hiding communication, memory checking complexity, and sublinear-communication MPC.

Key trends in her publications include:

• Advancements in Function Secret Sharing for branching programs and sparse vectors.
• Efficient Secure Multi-Party Computation protocols with preprocessing.
• Information-theoretic and computational Topology-Hiding Broadcast schemes.
• Optimized Oblivious Transfer with constant computational overhead.
