Abstract: Boolean circuits are perhaps our simplest complete model of computation. A circuit is a combinatorial object composed of simple, fan-in two gates whose interconnections (wires) are fixed in advance. This structural simplicity makes circuits convenient in many settings; in this talk, I will discuss how it enables powerful cryptographic constructions.
