Twenty-five ways in which MIT has transformed computing
From digital circuits to ingestible robots, the Institute has helped spearhead key innovations in the technology revolution.

Neural network that securely finds potential drugs could encourage large-scale pooling of sensitive data.
Legatum Center’s award for innovation in financial inclusion plays a key role in MIT’s push to expand African engagement.
CSAIL system encourages government transparency using cryptography on a public log of wiretap requests.
Cryptographic system could enable “crowdsourced” genomics, with volunteers contributing information to privacy-protected databases.
New isotope-detection method could prove compliance but avoid divulging secrets.
New untraceable text-messaging system comes with statistical guarantees.
A tool that would provide a secure foundation for any cryptographic system may be close at hand.
Calculating encryption schemes’ theoretical security guarantees eases comparison, improvement.
MIT hosts the first of three conferences on privacy policy
For 65 years, most information-theoretic analyses of cryptographic systems have made a mathematical assumption that turns out to be wrong.
A new algorithm solves a major problem with homomorphic encryption, which would let Web servers process data without decrypting it.
An MIT team that proposed a new, more-practical scheme for using quantum physics to secure data transmission has now demonstrated it experimentally.
MIT researchers show how to secure widely used encryption schemes against attackers who have intercepted examples of successful decryption.
Interactive proofs — mathematical games that underlie much modern cryptography — work even if players try to use quantum information to cheat.
