will speak on

Practically efficient zero knowledge proofs of correctness
of computations, and financial cryptography


Abstract

We present a highly efficient method for proving correctness of computations while preserving secrecy of all input and intermediate values.This is done in an Evaluator-Prover model which can also be realized by a secure processor. Applications to secure auctions will be presented.

Joint work with Rocco Servedio and Chris Thorpe.

   

The lecture will take place in the Schmidt Lecture Hall
