Sommario/riassunto

"Has there ever been a better reason to shop?" asks an ad for the Product RED American Express card, telling members who use the card that buying cappuccinos or cashmere will help to fight AIDS in Africa. Co-founded in 2006 by the rock star Bono, Product RED has been a particularly successful example of a new trend in celebrity-driven international aid and development, one explicitly linked to commerce, not philanthropy. In Brand Aid, Lisa Ann Richey and Stefano Ponte offer a deeply informed and stinging critique of "compassionate consumption."

The papers are organized in topical sections on obfuscation, differential privacy, LWR and LPN, public key encryption, signatures, and VRF, complexity of cryptographic primitives, multiparty



computation, zero knowledge and PCP, oblivious RAM, ABE and IBE, and codes and interactive proofs. The volume also includes an invited talk on cryptographic assumptions. .
