It looks like I have successfully coined the term "fancy cryptography" for cryptography beyond encryption and signatures.
You are welcome.
@sophieschmieg and beyond MACs, I suppose?
@robryk yes. Also PRFs etc. No clear definition, more a "you know it when you see it"
Follow
@sophieschmieg well, if I have a PRF I can make all of cryptography out of it :P
But I do mostly get the concept. Are you intentionally including handshakes of any kind in the fancy part?
@robryk no handshakes are also not fancy. Basically, the stuff I do as a job is not fancy. The stuff the research team does is.
