The Ether Review #53 - Dan Boneh, Master Cryptographer

In Brief: From better signature schemes for blockchains, to quantum preparedness, to novel cryptography like zero knowledge proofs and threshold signatures, Dan Boneh takes us on a tour of cryptography in our age. Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, Dan Boneh, has been working in the field of cryptography for over 25 years. During which time he has co-developed a signature scheme known as BLS Signatures. This was an opportunity to have some real questions answered, or more accurately, anticipated, by a master of the field. * Signature aggregation: http://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/pubs/abstracts/aggsurvey.html * Verifying Bitcoin exchange solvency: http://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/pubs/abstracts/provisions.html * Non-crypto applications of quantum computing: https://research.google.com/pubs/QuantumAI.html Post-quantum cryptography: https://www.amazon.com/Post-Quantum-Cryptography-Daniel-J-Bernstein/dp/3540887016/ Content: Dan Boneh, Arthur Falls https://medium.com/the-ether-review Subscribe on iTunes
