CyLab Seminar - Mark Zhandry November 4, 2024 12:00pm — 1:00pm Location: In Person and Virtual -ET - Panther Hollow Room, Mehrabian Collaborative Innovation Center 4105 Speaker: MARK ZHANDRY, Senior Scientist, Cryptography and Information Security Lab, NTT Research https://mzhandry.github.io/ Optimal Traitor Tracing from Pairings We use pairings over elliptic curves to give a collusion-resistant traitor tracing scheme where the sizes of public keys, secret keys, and ciphertexts are independent of the number of users. Prior constructions from pairings had size at least N1/3. — Mark Zhandry is currently a Senior Scientist at NTT Research in the Cryptography & Information Security Lab. He will be joining the faculty at Stanford University starting Fall 2025, and was previously an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University. Mark's research focus is on cryptography and quantum computing, although he am broadly interested in all aspects of computer science theory. Faculty Host: Elaine Shi In Person and Zoom Participation.
