Enigma is a decentralised data marketplace protocol and cryptocurrency created by a team of Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduates and researchers,[1][non-primary source needed] and incubated at MIT Media Lab.[2][non-primary source needed] The Enigma protocol is a second-layer, off-chain network that aims to solve issues of scalability and privacy on the blockchain.[3][non-primary source needed][4][non-primary source needed] Enigma's CEO is Guy Zyskind.[5][6][7]
History
Enigma was created by Guy Zyskind and Oz Nathan along with their advisor and MIT Professor Alex Pentland. The project first began as an attempt to create homomorphic encryption, a form of encryption that allows computer systems to query secured databases which actually allow them decrypted access.[8]
