Overview of useful cryptography with an emphasis on ensuring privacy in a secure and verifiable manner. Participants will gain a basic understanding of classical cryptographic tools and advanced concepts of programmable cryptography such asZero Knowledge, ZK), homomorphic encription (Fully Homomorphic Encryption, FHE) andMulti Party Computation, MPC). In the concluding section, we focus on analyzing the risks that quantum computers pose to today’s cryptography.
