Towards Transparent and Scalable Computational Integrity and Privacy

We are excited to have Eli Ben-Sasson speak at SF Bitcoin Devs about a new type of zero-knowledge proofs that may be used in cryptocurrencies in the future.

Eli is a Professor at Technion--Israel Institute of Technology; Zerocash co-inventor; and ZCash co-founder and scientist.

Abstract:

The enhanced privacy and fungibility of Zcash relies on cutting-edge cryptography --- zero knowledge proofs and zkSNARKs.

This talk describes recent progress towards, and applications of, transparent zero knowledge proofs (https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/021.pdf), whose setup requires only a public random string.
