Background: In the setting of secure computation,
two or more parties with private inputs wish to compute some
joint function of their inputs. The security requirements of such a computation
are privacy (meaning that the parties learn the output and nothing more),
correctness (meaning that the output is correctly distributed), independence of
inputs, and more. This setting encompasses computations as simple as
coin-tossing and agreement, and as complex as electronic voting, electronic
auctions, electronic cash schemes, anonymous transactions, and private
information retrieval schemes.
Due to its generality, secure computation is a
central tool in cryptography. The target audience for the school is graduate
students and postdocs in cryptography (we will assume background in
cryptography, but not secure computation). However, faculty, undergrads and
professionals with the necessary background are welcome. The winter school is
open to participants from all over the world; all talks will be in English.
