so it's my pleasure to introduce Yuda lindle today uh Yuda is a head of cryptography at coinbase and previously CEO at Unbound he's also a professor on Leaf at barand University uh Yehuda has been working on MPC for a long long while he is um for example an inventor of one of the fastest uh uh protocols for threshold the cdsa signing for two parties I think it's kind of uh was record breaking at the time I don't know if that still holds its record potentially it's a super fast and efficient uh yood is also an co-author with Jonathan cuts of a book introduction to Modern cryptography which some of you might uh might have read it's an amazing starter for those who want to do cryptography want to learn about it it's super um simple and clear but at the same time very rigorous and formal and u…
