Still Hacking Anyway (SHA2017),

(20 minutes)
This talk will introduce a couple of less well known applications of cryptography.
<p>When asked what Cryptography is about, most hackers will be quick to answer “encryption”.
Many will also think about “signatures” as another crucial aspect for secure communication.</p>
<p>While these are indeed the most prominent subjects of cryptography, they are by no means everything there is.</p>
<p>This talk will show a few examples for what else can be accomplished.
While it will not go into how those things work internally, it should still be enough to give a rough
idea for what the subject is actually about.</p>
<p>Topics: Commitments, Secure Cointosses, Zero-Knowledge-Proofs, Secure-Multiparty-Computation, Voting-Schemes.</p>
<p>Disclaimer: Cryptography is a minefield, so unless you are a cryptographer (and probably even then), NEVER ROLL YOUR OWN CRYPTO!</p>
