22:00-23:00: Rump Session (minitalks)

Main Talk: Uses of Cryptography /​ Daniel Armak

How can you use Cryptography as a tool? Most conversations about cryptography deal with the available crypto primitives. This talk will instead focus on what you can do with them and describe the most important and/​or interesting things that have been built using crypto as a tool. (The primitives will be briefly described).

The talk will be accessible to people without knowledge of the math behind cryptography.

Backup Talk: TBA

Rump Session: Each participant will give a 4-minute talk (+3 minute encore if we applaud hard enough). Giving a talk isn’t mandatory, but it’s highly recommended. Not confident that what you have to say is relevant to our interests? Unsure about your public speaking skills? Doesn’t matter—in the rump session, anything goes. - Note, you don’t have to prepare a talk to come! Speaking at the rump session is completely only if you want to.
