“What we build in Blindbox is an enhanced version of HTTPS called Blindbox HTTPS. And with Blindbox HTTPS when a user sends a message the user gets the message gets encrypted through SSL as before, so we don't change SSL.”

Opinion
Current HTTPS middlebox workarounds rely on man-in-the-middle attacks
“And actually, the solution is very embarrassing and insecure solution. People basically mount a man in the middle attack on SSL.”

Popa: BlindBox inspects encrypted traffic while maintaining user privacy
“So I'm going to tell you about some very recent work on Blindbox, which enables us to inspect traffic that remains encrypted and protect the privacy of the users.”

Popa: Computing on encrypted data will significantly impact industry
“And then I'm going to scope out from this and tell you about a bigger vision that Blindbox is part of, namely Computing on encrypted data, which I think can have a lot of impact to industry and to what people use today.”

Popa: BlindBox is first system enabling DPI on encrypted traffic
“Our system blind box is the first to show that this could be possible, and is the first system that enables DPI middle boxes to inspect traffic without seeing the traffic.”

Popa: BlindBox encryption matches security of randomized and speed of deterministic schemes
“So as part of Blindbox, our first contribution was to construct such a scheme. A scheme that is as secure as randomized schemes, and as fast as deterministic schemes.”

Popa: BlindBox detection speed is competitive with Snort
“So the detection of the middle box is competitive to Snort.”
