SPEAKER: Sanjam Garg TITLE: Candidate Multilinear Maps Abstract: I will describe plausible lattice-based constructions with properties that approximate the sought-after multilinear maps in hard-discrete-logarithm groups. These new constructions radically enhance our tool set and open a floodgate of applications. I will present some of these applications without getting into details.
