Multi-Party Fully Homomorphic Encryption (MP-FHE) in Practice

Duration: 01:23:49

Speaker: Eduard Sanou, gubsheep, Han Jian, riley wong (they/them)

Type: Workshop

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

In this session, we will break down the FHE game Frogzone, which required advancements at every layer of the cryptographic software stack: cryptography libraries and tooling, circuits, software infrastructure, and even DevOps. We will also cover additional use cases for FHE at a technical level.

Keynote: Programmable Cryptography and Ethereum

Programmable Cryptography is a "second generation" of cryptographic primitives - primitives that allow arbitrary programs to be executed "inside of" or "on top of" cryptographic objects. Programmable cryptography provides three key affordances that complement and amplify the affordances of Ethereum--verifiability, confidentiality, and non-interactivity. We'll discuss how these technologies can reshape the Internet over the next 50 years.

Multi-Party FHE for Multi-Player Privacy

Privacy is an unsolved challenge for blockchains and decentralized systems. ZK cryptography gets us there partially, but not all the way. ZK enables “single-player private state,” and certain other kinds of privacy are impossible to realize with ZKPs alone. Panelists, the cryptography library devs, infrastructure builders, and application devs who have recently started to explore programmable encryption will discuss MP-FHE as one such tool for achieving more general privacy capabilities.

How To Hallucinate A Server

A Hallucinated Server is a virtual server whose execution is cryptographically simulated by users, using "multiplayer" privacy technologies like multi-party computation or fully homomorphic encryption. Today, thanks to recent advancements in MPC and FHE, we have the technology to build the first fully Turing-complete hallucinated servers. We discuss the underlying technologies, and how we've used them to build several proof-of-concept applications.

Dark Forest: Lessons from 3 Years of On-Chain Gaming

We'll present an overview of learnings from 3 years of building and running Dark Forest, the first fully decentralized MMORTS, including: why ZK is important for games, what a crypto-native game is and why we should care, designing for emergent player behavior, pushing the limits of Ethereum devex, and social consensus and legitimacy - why is Dark Forest more like chess than League of Legends? We'll also hint at 0xPARC's next crypto-gaming experiments.

ZKPs and "Programmable Cryptography"

Historically, cryptographic protocols have been built special-purpose for specific kinds of claims or information hiding mechanisms. zkSNARKs and other new cryptographic tools move us to a world of "general-purpose" cryptography, where we have expressive languages to express claims about digital identity, reputation, and more. We discuss a high-level framework for thinking about where and why ZK and related technologies might (or might not) be useful for digital applications.

Indistinguishability Obfuscation (iO)

There has been a lot of recent progress and interest in iO (Indistinguishability Obfuscation). This session will cover topics from the basics to theory and attempts at practical implementations—plus ways of breaking these attempts.

Programmable Cryptography from a Software Engineering Lens

Different cryptographic primitives have different affordances, especially when using them in practice, and especially together. In this session, we explore a new way of interacting with PCs at a software engineering level via a LISP like programming language. This language enables creating self-verifying graphs of computation.

Programmable Cryptography and Ethereum, Panel

One of the core themes of this panel is how Programmable Cryptography synergizes with Ethereum. Panelists will discuss questions such as ''Why have we not been able to do everything we've wanted with Ethereum?'' and ''Why have certain kinds of applications - from decentralized social to decentralized games to decentralized finance - not been able to reach their full potential with only consensus technology?''

What to know about Zero Knowledge

Zero Knowledge, aka ZK, has become a catch-all term to represent much of "modern" or "advanced" cryptography -- especially cryptography that's relevant to the future of blockchains. In this panel, we will share our perspectives on ZK -- how to think about it, what to look out for, and what to focus in on. We'll also discuss how ZK may alter and complement Ethereum's own future.
