Steve Weis, Software Engineer, Facebook
This talk discusses emerging cryptographic technologies including secure enclaves, homomorphic encryption, secure multiparty computation, and functional cryptography. We'll focus on the potential impact to everyday security and privacy.
For background, we'll recap trends in cryptographic adoption and how it has affected real world users. We'll cover both positive and negative examples and suggest areas of development most beneficial to the next billion users coming online. We'll then discuss how emerging cryptography may enable new models of computation, while better protecting people's sensitive data.
