Better MPC: Addressing the Threshold Trust Assumption in Refreshing New Ways

Описание: Threshold Cryptography, Multi-Party Computation (MPC), and Threshold-Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) leverage threshold encryption to split sensitive data or keys among multiple parties, ensuring no single entity has full control. These technologies are the backbone of secure systems, shaping the crypto landscape today and tomorrow.

While these systems are highly resistant to exploitation, they still depend on the threshold trust assumption. But what if we could reduce this dependency even further?

Even the strongest foundations can benefit from a refresh 🔄🥤to rely on less trust.

This talk brings together experts from leading organizations to explore cutting-edge concepts aimed at minimizing trust assumptions in cryptography. Innovations like layered security via TEEs and “Secret Sharing with Snitching” are setting fresh benchmarks for resilience, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in secure systems.

Shutter is a pioneering threshold encryption protocol with a wide variety of applications, including: malicious MEV prevention, censorship resistance, voting integrity, and gaming fairness.

Shielded Trading makes MEV attacks virtually impossible, protecting your crypto assets from sandwich attacks that extract on average $750 from each victim.

Shielded Voting helps prevent vote manipulation, protecting decentralized organizations. Votes are encrypted when cast and revealed after the voting period ends.
