This will be the sixth and final cryptography primer session exploring the basics of modern cryptography. In this session, we’ll explore some high-level tools that employ cryptographic techniques including zero-knowledge, secret sharing, and homomorphic encryption. We’ll then pull these tools together into the application of developing a verifiable election system wherein voters can check that their votes are properly counted without compromising their privacy.
