From May 12 to 14, the city of Tarragona hosted the Workshop on Secret Sharing Schemes,an event focused on the fundamentals and applications of secret sharing systems.
The IMDEA Software team, composed of Ignacio Cascudo, Daniele Cozzo, and Xiang Liu, actively participated in the event, which brought together international experts in the field to exchange ideas and showcase recent developments.
Ignacio Cascudo, Associate Research Professo at the institute, was invited to deliver a talk titled “Publicly Verifiable Secret Sharing Schemes”. In his presentation, he outlined the main results of one of his research lines from recent years, as published in top-tier conferences such as ACNS, Asiacrypt, and Eurocrypt. This line of research has been supported in part by the Confidential6G[1] and Prodigy projects[2].
Daniele Cozzo, postdoctoral researcher at IMDEA Software, gave a talk entitled “Verifiable Secret Sharing from Symmetric Key Cryptography with Improved Optimistic Complexity”. The presentation was based on the paper of the same name, co-authored with Ignacio Cascudo and Emanuele Giunta, and published at Asiacrypt 2024.
