Zama Preview

[Nigel Smart]

Hi Threshold Crypto Friends,

Looking forward to the talks this week.

Luis asked each team to write a short intro to get people
interested in their preview/talk...

Tomorrow (late my time, but at an OK time on the East coast)
I will be introducing Zama's proposed submission. This
consists of three crypto-systems

TFHE: A fully specified version of the TFHE Homomorphic
Encryption Scheme

ZHEnith: A ZKPoK system designed to proof correctness
of TFHE ciphertexts, and knowledge of the underlying
plaintext.

Nexus: An MPC system to perform distributed key generation
and threshold decryption for TFHE (in particular) and
BGV/BFV (if you want).

I will also be giving some numbers related to commercial
deployment of the above three technologies. In particular
related to the auction of the Zama token, which
completed over the weekend.

Yours

Nigel
