The conference will be held online using Microsoft Teams. To join the main conference sessions and keynote click on the link Online GREEN ROOM A. Every paper presenter will have 15 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions from the audience. We encourage the presenters, apart from sharing the presentation to have their camera on only while presenting.

To join the several independent workshops and dissemination events click on Online RED ROOM B. 

The national training event on High Performance Computing, High Performance Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence can be joined on this link.

Zero-knowledge proofs, invented in the 1980s, allow one to certify the validity of a statement without revealing why it is true. In this talk I plan to illustrate their relevance to the security of logins, bitcoins, and many things in between, work out a representative example, and say a bit about their generality as encapsulated in the mantra “everything provable is provable in zero-knowledge”.

 

Andrej Bogdanov is professor of Computer Science and Engineering and member of the Institute of Theoretical Computer Science and Communications at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His research interests are in cryptography, pseudorandomness, and sublinear-time algorithms. Andrej obtained his B.S. and M. Eng. degrees from MIT in 2001 and his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in 2005. Before joining CUHK in 2008 he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, at DIMACS (Rutgers University), and at ITCS (Tsinghua University). He was a visiting professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2013. He is currently a visiting scientist at the UC Berkeley Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing, where he also spent a semester in 2017.
