In this episode, we sit down with Bogdan Opanchuk and John "Tux" Pacific from NuCypher (https://www.nucypher.com/) to chat about their threshold proxy-encryption technology, how the project aims to provide privacy infrastructure, dig into their nuFHE scheme and explore far along FHE research, the cryptographic "holy grail", really is.
Here are some papers we mention in the podcast:
* Matt Green’s blog post “Wonk post: Circular security“ (https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2012/04/27/wonk-post-circular-security/)
* BBS98 (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/221348480_Divertible_Protocols_and_Atomic_Proxy_Cryptography)
* A FULLY HOMOMORPHIC ENCRYPTION SCHEME - Gentry 2009 (https://crypto.stanford.edu/craig/craig-thesis.pdf) https://crypto.stanford.edu/craig/craig-thesis.pdf
