In this episode, we discuss how Yael started working in the field, choosing foundational research problems, privacy-preserving tools such as ring-signatures used in cryptocurrencies (Monero) and recent breakthroughs in schemes that allow hiding secrets in program code.\\xa0

Did you know that ring-signatures came from the motivation to understand the Fiat-Shamir paradigms?\\xa0

Who will get the credit for the recent breakthroughs in program obfuscation?

Did you know the history of the famous IP = PSPACE result?

Listen to the podcast to learn the answers.
