Programmable Cryptography: Actualizing Academic Innovation for Novel Technology

Seemly all of a sudden many theorized cryptographic systems are becoming practically usable. Programmable Cryptography (https://0xparc.org/blog/programmable-cryptography-1) is an exciting vision for novel applications using these new tools to empower privacy, verifiability, and much more.

This talk will highlight some of these new tools and cover a few key use cases. We will invite discussions from the audience about how we might use these, helping drive adoption and innovation here in our local community and beyond! With any luck, we will come away with a few groups to kick-off a series of talks and workshops around this theme.
