Abstract

Is it possible to measure a physical object in a way that makes the measurement signals unintelligible to an external observer? Alternatively, can one learn a natural concept by using a contrived training set that makes the labeled examples useless without the line of thought that has led to their choice? We initiate a study of ``cryptographic sensing'' problems of this type, presenting definitions, positive and negative results, and directions for further research.
