Cryptography

“What needs to be hidden? What needs to be proven? Who do we not trust?”

E2ET theory lab

Written for researchers in Cryptography

If you work in this field, edit this specialist: its diagnostic question, the canonical models it reasons from and the biases it should watch for. Your name is credited on it and on every study that uses it.

Canonical models

  • ·Public-key cryptography (Diffie & Hellman, 1976)
  • ·Zero-knowledge proofs (Goldwasser et al., 1989)
  • ·Commitment schemes (Blum, 1981)
  • ·Secure multi-party computation (Yao, 1982)

Known biases

  • !Cryptographic solutions assume computational hardness that may change
  • !Protocol complexity can make adoption impractical
