Non-Attributable Email: Forward-Forgeable Signatures

This lecture by the instructor covers the concept of non-attributable email using forward-forgeable signatures. The presentation delves into the challenges of email attributability, the proposed solutions KeyForge and TimeForge, and the use of cryptographic tools to achieve non-attribution. It also discusses the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, the legal risks faced by security researchers, and the intersection of technology, law, and policy. The lecture concludes with insights on privacy-preserving transparency, the limits of technological possibilities in legal contexts, and the implications of data protection laws on encrypted personal data.
