Invited talk 2 - Sandra Guasch Castelló

"Using cryptography in the enterprise: electronic voting, system security and privacy for AI"

The talk will be structured in 4 parts: first, the speaker will give a brief overview of her career in the applied cryptography and cybersecurity fields. Then, she will go into detail about the three main areas where she has / is working in: electronic voting protocols, secure software development lifecycle, and privacy for ML. For each area, there will be an overview of the problem, a highlight of some interesting solutions, and then a discussion of open problems.
