SUMMARY:Zero Knowledge Proofs and Nuclear Disarmament - Barak\, B (Microso
 ft Research New England)
DTSTART:20120413T103000Z
DTEND:20120413T113000Z
UID:TALK37464@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Mustapha Amrani
DESCRIPTION:I'll describe a physical implementation of zero knowledge proo
 fs whose goal is to verify that two physical objects are identical\, witho
 ut revealing any information about them.  Our motivation is the task of ve
 rifying that an about-to-be-dismantled nuclear warhead is authentic withou
 t revealing its classified design. This is one of the technical hurdles th
 at arises in implementing nuclear disarmament.  Joint work with Alex Glase
 r and Robert Goldston from Princeton University and the Princeton Plasma P
 hysics Laboratory.\n
