Applying Cryptography to National Security
James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies
View on CNS WebsiteThis presentation explores how modern cryptographic techniques can be applied to enhance national security, particularly in the context of arms control verification. It discusses practical applications of zero-knowledge proofs, secure multi-party computation, and other privacy-preserving technologies for sensitive international agreements.
