Overview
Programmable Cryptography Summer is a 12 week program from June 1, 2024 through August 30, 2024 hosted by 0xPARC in San Francisco.
- Participants are welcome to come by for any amount of time.
Our goal is to understand and advance the state of programmable cryptography across the “full-stack”, from theory to application.
June
ZK Frontiers from June 3 through June 28.
- The goal of ZK Frontiers is to take strong engineers and teach them the cryptographic building blocks of Programmable Cryptography.
July
Programmable Cryptography Explorations begins — from July 1 through August 30
- Folks will share latest in various Programmable Cryptography domains, such as Zero-Knowledge, Multi-Party Computation, and Fully-Homomorphic Encryption.
- There will be mathematicians, cryptographers, cryptography engineers and other archetypes around.
August
Programmable Cryptography Summer School + Programmable Cryptography Symposium — July 29 through August 30
- Folks will begin presenting what is learned, potentially culminating in a “super-Research-Workshop”
Other Programming
We will have side programming going on as well throughout the weeks.
Thursday talks + happy hour: We’ll have weekly talks featuring 2-3 20 minute presentations, followed by pizza / drinks / hanging out and mingling.
Iceberg events: Organized talks for a curated audience, introducing more folks into the space of Programmable Cryptography.
Plonkathon. Similar to what we ran at MIT last year. Might be run at Stanford or MIT.
