cryptography

“Network rates are on the order of microseconds, so not a lot of cryptography remains that could be used in this setting.”

“It's based on mathematical concepts that are very hard, they're very easy to verify, but very hard to actually do.”

“So in the nineties, the U.S. Government actually banned the exporting of strong cryptography.”

“But by far, the most important application of cryptography today has nothing to do with secrecy. Rather, it is all about helping make data tamper-proof.”

“It's one of the few areas, I have to say, where you can do deep mathematics, and at the same time, it would be extremely applied and deployed and used by billions of people all over the world.”

“There's, there are fewer humans involved and therefore this could be more scalable. You could scale trust to a larger number of people. You could imagine this being a truly global, ah, decentralized network for storage where everyone can participate because th…”

“Every single node can construct an auditable, verifiable database view on top of this append-only ledger. This is really the key insight here. And the reason that it's auditable and verifiable is because we're using cryptography, hash functions, and digital si…”

“Cryptography was a military secret, until the advent of the Internet.”

“Crypto is ushering a new era of research in distributed systems, in security, and in cryptography. And all of these technology advances are actually making its way towards the internet into a safer internet.”

“And so I think that the real check on something like that is going to be going to have to be cryptography, exit, you know, and so on and so forth, which is ultimately like get out of the jurisdiction, you know, have property that they cannot actually seize.”
