Unlock Web2 Data with TLSNotary: Hands-On Workshop

Duration: 01:25:23

Speaker: Hendrik Eeckhaut, sinu, tsukino

Type: Workshop

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

Join our hands-on workshop to master **TLSNotary**! Dive into multi-party-TLS and learn to prove and verify online data authenticity to a third-party verifier while ensuring privacy. We’ll start with small examples in Rust and build up to custom browser extensions in TypeScript to collect and verify private user data. Bring your laptop, bring a friend, and learn together. Get ready to unlock and compose Web2 data in innovative ways.

TLSNotary: Applying MPC and interactive ZK to prove web2 data

Diving into TLSNotary, a protocol which leverages multi-party computation and interactive ZK to prove the authenticity and provenance of any data on the web to another party. Summary: 1. What it is and what it can do 2. High-level overview of how it works 3. Details on the underlying MPC and ZK protocols that we use 4. How to use it

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

MPC Tooling or How to create MPC apps

Let's get into the state of the art of MPC development: we'll discuss different MPC schemes, current MPC tooling & how you can create MPC apps today. We'll cover the tech stack from a frontend level (e.g. MPC compilers) to a backend - and of course how we can combine them.

The combination of ZKP +/- MPC +/- FHE

This talk will provide you with the necessary intuition to understand when you should use ZKP, MPC or FHE, or any combination of them.

Circom buses: a new journey

Circom is one of the most widely used languages in programmable cryptography. In this talk we present an amazing new circom feature, called buses. Like structs in other languages, programmers can define their own buses, as new types, in a general way to create structured collections of signals and freely use them in their code. Buses increase the readability, modularity and security of circuits. Illustrative examples as well as the renewed circomlib, using buses, are presented.

Polynomial Commitment Schemes for Zero-Knowledge Proof Systems: A Hands-on Workshop

In this workshop, we will compare three distinct classes of Polynomial Commitment Schemes employed in various zero-knowledge proof systems: pairings-based (e.g., KZG), discrete logarithm-based (e.g., IPA), and hash function-based (e.g., FRI). We will explore their mathematical constructions, properties, and trade-offs. Participants will engage in hands-on proof-of-concept implementations, gaining practical experience of these advanced cryptographic protocols.
