Acquiring and Aggregating Information in Societal Contexts
The modern world is full of algorithms that use data to make decisions. The data often come from people; the predictions or decisions often affect people. Yet classically, the study of e.g. learning algorithms does…
Tool
FrodoKEM: Learning with Errors Key Encapsulation
This C library implements FrodoKEM, an IND-CCA secure key encapsulation (KEM) protocol based on the well-studied Learning with Errors (LWE) problem [1], which in turn has close connections to conjectured-hard problems on generic, “algebraically unstructured” lattices. FrodoKEM is…
