SecAppDev 2022 Lecture Details
New developments in cryptography land
Bart Preneel
Tuesday June 14, 11:00 - 12:30
Short description
This lecture discusses developments in cryptography that will impact applications in the next years, such as authenticated encryption, post-quantum cryptography, multi-party computation and (somewhat) fully homomorphic encryption.
Abstract
Cryptography is under constant development, as illustrated by the hundreds of new research papers that are published each year. Additionally, the 6-year postquantum competition organized by NIST was expected to conclude in the Spring of 2022, but some new developments have resulted in some delay.
This lecture focuses on some of the recent developments in authenticated encryption and post-quantum cryptography. We will also discuss the potential of innovative technologies such as Multi-Party Computation and (Somewhat) Fully Homomorphic Encryption.
Key takeaway
Cryptography keeps changing. More effort is needed on cryptographic algorithm agility and new applications are opening up.
Content level
