Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!
Explore the current state of cryptographic multilinear maps in this comprehensive 49-minute lecture. Delve into fundamental crypto tools and constructions, starting with an introduction to discrete-logarithm and its application in DH Key Exchange. Progress beyond DDH to examine bilinear maps and the crucial concept of testing for zero. Investigate MMAP constructions, including syntax, tag structures, and the GGH13 construction. Analyze the properties and vulnerabilities of GGH13, including "zeroizing" attacks and attempted fixes. Discuss the implications of these security challenges and explore non-linear zero-test methods. Conclude by examining the security landscape of MMAPs, known weak distributions, and performance considerations. Gain a thorough understanding of this complex cryptographic topic and its current challenges.
