PIR, Encrypted RAM, Commitments

Explore the concepts of Private Information Retrieval (PIR), Encrypted RAM, and Commitments in this 57-minute conference talk. Delve into the application of PIR to blockchain technology, examining challenges and tree-based solutions. Investigate efficiency models and the main theorem before discussing vector commitments and their contributions. Learn about upgradable public encryption and the state of the art in this field. Gain insights into the primitive update of PIR and conclude with a comprehensive summary of these advanced cryptographic topics.
