Abstract

Recent proposals for plausible candidate constructions of multilinear maps and obfuscation have radically transformed what we imagined to be possible in cryptography. For over a decade cryptographers had been very skeptical about the existence of such objects. In this article, we provide a very brief introduction to these results and some of their interesting consequences.
