Dr. Miguel de Vega presents the building blocks and core mathematics behind alternative cryptographic primitives used to secure a new type of decentralized network, including innovations on Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC), One-Time Padding and Nillion’s core technology, ‘Nil Message Compute’ (NMC). Nillion is new internet infrastructure based on a cryptographic innovation which has led to the development of a novel technology called Nil Message Compute. The technology fundamentally changes the way data is stored, processed and decentralized and opens up a realm of alternative decentralized use cases. The founding team behind Nillion have founded several unicorn and successful crypto and non-crypto companies, including Uber, Indiegogo and two of the top 100 cryptocurrencies (Hedera Hashgraph and Reserve). www.nillion.com
