SUMMARY:Cryptography: The Jugalbandi (duet) of Structure and Randomness
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Shweta Agrawal (Indian Institute of Technology Madras\
 nChennai\, Tamil Nadu.)\n\nAbstract: \nCryptography is a beautiful branch 
 of theoretical computer science that seeks to provide guarantees to the ar
 t of secret keeping. The questions it poses are fundamental --  does the 
 universe permit asymmetry of computation? It's practical utility requires 
 no argument -- ad-hoc security solutions repeatedly fall prey to attack an
 d crime is increasingly digital. Its scientific charm lies in its deeply p
 aradoxical nature – among its early successes is the ability for two str
 angers to meet\, generate a secret key and communicate privately\, all of 
 these from within a crowd!\nIn this talk\, we will take a closer look at t
 his fascinating field\, paying special attention to the many apparent para
 doxes it enables. Via examples such as zero knowledge proofs\, fully homom
 orphic encryption and deniable encryption\, I hope to show you how it is t
 he perennial jugalbandi\, or duet between structure and randomness that en
 ables these beautiful and useful constructs.\nYoutube link: https://youtu.
