Abstract

In this talk, we discuss user-friendliness in cryptography and its importance. Especially, we reconsider the significance of generic constructions of cryptographic tools, using the case of proxy re-encryption as an example. We then suggest that enjoyable aspects of cryptographic tools may also be important for technology diffusion. We illustrate this using the case of card-based protocols as an example.
