Abstract. This talk will introduce the notion of Functional Encryption, which, informally speaking, only allows decryption-key holders to learn certain specific functions of encrypted values. Functional Encryption has emerged as a major frontier in cryptographic research, with hundreds of research articles published building different variants of Functional Encryption. We will discuss the basics of Functional Encryption and natural applications, as well as discussing some recent theoretical advances and open questions.
