About the Talk
Cryptography is the fundamental technology for all blockchain systems. However, many people just think that blockchain cryptography only includes hash functions and basic digital signatures. In fact, there are lots of different cryptographic primitives that are playing a very important role in many advanced functionalities of blockchain. In this talk, I will introduce several cryptographic primitives and how I contribute to the advancements of different parts of blockchain system from my invented cryptographic tools.
