HACKERS BEWARE: Research for next-generation encryption is on the way

Hopkins, the University of California Los Angeles, Stanford University, the University of Texas and Columbia University are forming the Center for Encrypted Functionalities through a US$5mil (RM15.8mil) grant from the National Science Foundation.
