Session: Zero Knowledge Cryptography and Web Service Orchestration
The rise of blockchain and cryptocurrency has, in recent years, fueled the rapid development of zero-knowledge cryptography. ZK has been around since the mid-1980s, and its utility extends far beyond blockchain scaling and privacy. In fact, even though much work is focused on ZK’s use in blockchain, perhaps its most practical and immediate utility is in high-security multi-party automations and web service orchestration (both with and without help from blockchains). If you’re tired of the hype around Web3 and blockchain, and think boring-but-practical uses of advanced cryptography is exciting, then this session is for you: #boringIsTheNewExciting.
