Description
Friday, July 20, 2018: 11:00 pm (Vaughan): Cryptography is usually associated with encrypting and signing messages, but since the 1990s, the field developed new tools that bring completely new capabilities: from PAKE protocols that make bruteforcing passwords impossible, to zero-knowledge proofs enabling blind credentials. This talk will take a look at all those things modern cryptography can do beyond the old encryption and signatures. George Tankersley, Filippo Valsorda
