WPEC 2024, the NIST Workshop on Privacy-Enhancing Cryptography 2024, will bring together multiple perspectives of PEC stakeholders. The three-day virtual workshop is organized for sharing insights about PEC capabilities, use cases, real-world deployment, initiatives, challenges and opportunities, and the related context of privacy and auditability. The program will cover:

  • Private Set Intersection (PSI): for a deep dive into this technique, exploring its technicalities, readiness, feasibility, applicability, variants, and broader context.
  • Other PEC techniques: for a broader perspective of PEC, including FHE, MPC, and ZKP.
