　　UCLA computer science professor, Amit Sahai, has received $1.5 million in support from NTT Research, a division of NTT, to support his research on the leading edge of cryptography, the field of secure communications. NTT announced today the agreement early Tuesday in San Francisco at the RSA Conference, the world’s leading annual information security conference.  

　　加州大学洛杉矶分校计算机科学教授Amit Sahai获得了NTT下属的NTT Research的150万美元资助，以支持他在密码学前沿、安全通信领域的研究。NTT今天在旧金山举行的RSA大会上宣布了这项协议，RSA大会是全球领先的年度信息安全大会。  

　　The scope of work for the five-year agreement covers advanced secure cryptosystems, secure protocols, new sources of hardness and mathematical foundations of cryptography. The research will be conducted with NTT Research’s Cryptography and Information Security (CIS) Laboratory, a division engaged in basic research of cryptography with the potential for long-term impact.  

　　五年协议的工作范围涵盖了先进的安全密码系统、安全协议、新的硬度来源和密码学的数学基础。这项研究将与NTT研究所的密码学和信息安全（CIS）实验室一起进行，该实验室是从事密码学基础研究的一个部门，具有长期影响的潜力。  

　　“NTT’s commitment to fundamental research is evident in its generous support, and we are very grateful its research team shares our vision,” said Sahai, who has made pioneering advances in cryptography and theoretical computer science. “This will enable our explorations into the boundary between the possible and the impossible with regards to cryptography. We’ll be able to answer difficult questions, and then turn that new knowledge into innovative applications.”  

　　Sahai 说：“NTT对基础研究的承诺体现在它的慷慨支持上，我们非常感谢它的研究团队分享我们的愿景。”“这将使我们能够探索密码学中可能与不可能之间的界限。我们将能够回答难题，然后将这些新知识转化为创新应用。”  

　　For example, one of the questions Sahai hopes to answer is: “What kinds of equations are too hard for a computer to solve, even when given a million years to work on them?” Answers to that question could lead to new advances in information security technologies and programs.  

　　例如，Sahai希望回答的一个问题是：“哪种方程对计算机来说太难求解了，即使有一百万年的时间来研究它们？“对这个问题的回答可能导致信息安全技术和方案的新进展。  

　　Sahai is also the director of the Center for Encrypted Functionalities, which is funded by the National Science Foundation. He is a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery and the International Association for Cryptologic Research. Sahai joined the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering in 2004, after starting his academic career at Princeton University.  

　　Sahai还是国家科学基金会资助的加密功能中心的主任。他是计算机械协会和国际密码学研究协会的会员。萨海在普林斯顿大学开始他的学术生涯后，于2004年加入了加州大学洛杉矶分校萨缪利工程学院。  

　　“Basic research requires taking a long-range view,” said Tatsauki Okamoto, CIS Lab Director and an NTT Fellow. “This five-year agreement with UCLA allows us to extend the horizon, while partnering with an expert in cryptographic theory whose research nicely complements path-breaking work that our Distinguished Scientist Brent Waters has undertaken.”  

　　CIS实验室主任、NTT研究员Tatsauki Okamoto说：“基础研究需要从长远的角度出发。“这项与加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）为期五年的协议使我们得以扩展视野，同时与一位密码理论专家合作，他的研究与我们杰出的科学家 Brent Waters 所做的突破性工作相辅相成。”  

　　NTT Research opened its Palo Alto offices in July 2019 as a new Silicon Valley startup to conduct basic research and advance technologies that promote positive change for humankind. The company includes three divisions: the CIS Lab, the Physics and Informatics (PHI) Lab, and the Medical and Health Informatics (MEI) Lab. NTT Research is part of NTT, a global technology and business solutions provider with an annual R&D budget of $3.6 billion.  

NTT Research于2019年7月在帕洛阿尔托开设了办事处，这是一家新成立的硅谷初创企业，旨在开展基础研究和先进技术，促进人类的积极变革。该公司包括三个部门：CIS实验室、物理和信息学（PHI）实验室和医疗和健康信息学（MEI）实验室。NTT Research是NTT的一部分，NTT是全球技术和商业解决方案提供商，每年的研发预算为36亿美元。
