Prof. Prabhakaran maintains broad interests spanning algorithms, complexity theory, coding theory, combinatorics, and cryptography. Of these, cryptography - the attempt to reduce nebulous questions of security to concrete problems in computational complexity theory - is his main focus.

Recent trust-oriented publications from Manoj M. Prabhakaran include:

• M. M. Prabhakaran, Y. Dodis, S. J. Ong, and A. Sahai. On the (Im)possibility of Cryptography with Imperfect Randomness. Proc. FOCS'04.
• M. M. Prabhakaran and A. Sahai. New Notions of Security: Achieving Universal Composability without Trusted Setup. Proc. STOC'04.
• M. M. Prabhakaran, B. Lynn, and A. Sahai. Positive Results and Techniques for Obfuscation. Proc. EUROCRYPT'04.
