Improving Cryptography to Protect the Internet

Описание к видео Improving Cryptography to Protect the Internet

Theoretical computer scientist Yael Kalai has devised breakthrough interactive proofs which have had a major impact on cryptography. These protocols can be found in use in a wide range of digital applications including smart phone communication, cloud computing, and securing the blockchain. She and her collaborators are updating their cryptographic schemes for a future in which quantum computers could threaten the security of today’s most commonly used cryptographic methods.

Kalai is Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research New England and an adjunct professor at MIT. She was awarded the 2022 ACM Prize in Computing.
