All Episodes

March 14, 2021 • 47 mins

Zero-Knowledge proofs have broadened the realm of use cases for applied cryptography over the past decade, from privacy-enhanced cryptocurrencies to applications in voting, finance, protecting medical data and more. In 2018, Dr. Eli Ben-Sasson and his team introduced ZK-STARKs, a new zero-knowledge construction that functions without trusted setup, thereby broadening what zero-knowledge systems are capable of. We’ll talk about ZK-STARKs and more with Eli in this episode of Cryptography FM. Links and papers discussed in the show: * Scalable, transparent, and post-quantum secure computational integrity (https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/046.pdf) * Cairo Language (https://www.cairo-lang.org) * Cairo Workshop, 14-15 March 2021!
