As part of an ongoing series, Arvind's talk will again be postponed until next
week. Instead we have:

Time: Tuesday, April 4, 1989 (TODAY!!!)

Location: GB420

Speaker: Dan Simon

Summary:

I will speak on "Variations on Zero Knowledge".  Since it was first introduced
by Goldwasser, Micali, and Rackoff in 1985, the zero-knowledge interactive 
proof system has been the subject of much investigation, modification, and
general dicking around, with the result that numerous variations, extensions
and applications have emerged.  I will review/explain the basics of
"zero-knowledge interactive proof systems" (including what, exactly, they are), 
and discuss the various neat tricks that can be (and have been) done with 
them.  This talk is a practice for my depth oral, so all are warmly encouraged 
to come and offer suggestions, condolences, or hearty laughter at my 
pathetically amateurish and artless slides.  No background is required; a pulse 
is recommended (but not essential).
