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.

Digital pheromones: MPC for human connection & coordination

Recent MPC research from Cursive and PSE enables a new concept called "digital pheromones": the ability to produce lightweight, privacy-preserving signals that people can use to coordinate safely and efficiently. The primary result we will cover is Trinity, a new 2PC scheme with nearly ideal UX/DevX, built on the trio of PLONK, Garbled Circuits, and KZG Witness Encryption. We will do a live demo with attendees and explore what a future filled with digital pheromones will enable!

MP-FHE experiments. Our learnings trying to find the next big tech to focus on.

This talk mainly focuses on showcasing the work that some PSE members did while starting to dive into MPC-FHE during Q2 2024. This work is composed by various explorations within the MPC-FHE realm that move towards different directions and goals. From FHE compilers to FFT Bootstrapping GPU optimization proposals, passing by FHE Game demos and many application level implementations, the talk aims to reach beginner-advanced audience on the research/product paths that we have explored so far.

Security of Fiat-Shamir transformation

Fiat-Shamir transformation underlies virtually every SNARK used in the Ethereum ecosystem as it makes interactive proofs non-interactive. In this talk, we discuss the security issues if the transformation is used incorrectly (e.g., parallel repetition of a ZKP defined over a small field; such protocols became very popular thanks to their efficiency), provide examples, show the security loss that the transformation brings, and the concrete security of ZKP. Finally, we discuss best practices for k

Keynote: The Universal Cryptographic Adapter

The "secret" third affordance of Zero-Knowledge proof after 1) Privacy and 2) Succinctness is Interoperability. ZK enables us to continuously refactor data, aggregate it from different sources, and transforming it without loosing its integrity. Starting with the Zupass project, and now with the broader adoption of the POD and GPC format, 0xPARC has been exploring using ZK for data sovereignty and creating more interoperable data ecosystem. We will cover our learnings and progress in this talk.

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.

Little Things We've learned About FHE

Recently, at PSE, we have been exploring the field of cryptography, specifically focusing on Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). FHE enables secure interactions with encrypted data between different parties. In this presentation, we will introduce key concepts and essential information tailored for developers and application designers. This will help them quickly grasp the fundamentals without getting bogged down by complex mathematical details.

STARK proofs ELI5

Let's face it, ZK proofs are intimidating. But they don't have to be! ZK proofs are complex not because of the depth math they use, but because of the large number of fields of mathematics they leverage features from. In this talk, we'll break down STARK proofs into simple blocks and colorful analogies so that you get a good high level overview of how they work

Wizard: build your own P-IOP protocol in 15 min!

Wizard is a new open-source framework allowing you to write your own ZK proving scheme. Wizard is one of the backbones of Linea zkEVM's prover and it can be used to implement advanced protocols easily. In this session I will guide you through an implementation of Plonk using just a few lines of code.

Programmable Cryptography and the future of the Internet

You rarely hear of issues at the networking layer of the Internet: networking companies are running utilities business: they are fungible and can be swapped if distrusted. Most of the value captured on the Internet -- and also most abuse -- happen at the Compute and Data layer of the Web. Ethereum gave us a glimpse of a fundamentally different architecture for Compute and Data than Client/Server architecture.We think the Internet is 1/3 complete, and that programmable cryptography can finish it.
