LambdaLounge: Zero-knowledge proofs

Running functional programming meetups since 2010 - https://twitter.com/lambdamcr

<A HREF="https://twitter.com/feministplt" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Daira Hopwood</A>, a LamdaLounge regular, will tell us about Zero-knowledge proofs, a fascinating area of cryptography with wide applications for security and the blockchain.
Zero-knowledge proofs allow Alice to prove to Bob that she knows a secret, without having to reveal it.
With zero-knowledge proofs, you can validate in O(1) space and time that an arbitrary amount of computation occurred correctly. This remarkable property depends, at least for now, on writing programs in a peculiar (and peculiarly terrible) mathematical language called R1CS (Rank 1 constraint systems).
This talk is an introduction to writing efficient R1CS programs.

The meeting starts at 7pm (doors open a little earlier, we aim to start by 7:05pm).
