In this week’s episode, Anna catches up with Eli Ben Sasson (https://twitter.com/EliBenSasson) to talk about the latest from StarkWare (https://twitter.com/StarkWareLtd), the explosion of new research within the zero knowledge space and the origin of new mathematical ideas.
Recorded right after the StarkWare Sessions in tel aviv, and during a period of incredible development in new cryptographic zk techniques and protocol proposals.
Here are some of the papers and ideas we cover:
* STARK-friendly hash competition (https://starkware.co/hash-challenge/)
* Succinct Arguments in the Quantum Random Oracle Model (https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/834.pdf)
* More resources about StarkWare and STARK technology (https://starkware.co/resources/)
* Henri Pointcaré - Science and Hypothesis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmmgWcbAmjo)
The chapter mentioned is "On the Nature of Mathematical Reasoning"
As mentioned in the intro, the Zero Knowledge Summit (https://www.zeroknowledge.fm/summit) is happening on Oct 26th in San Francisco
