报告内容：

         The Replication-Based Outsourced Computation (RBOC) mechanism allows clients to outsource computing jobs to multiple contractors, with payment for honest contractors based on a majority vote. However, the traditional RBOC system suffers from issues with client privacy leakage, computation burden, and lazy contractors. To address these challenges, we propose a secure RBOC system that uses public-key encryption with equality tests (PKEET) via smart contracts, ensuring stability while protecting data privacy. This system effectively solves the privacy and computation burden problems but remains vulnerable to lazy contractor attacks, the root cause for which is that the existing PKEET schemes suffer from this type of attack. To solve this issue, we introduce PKEET against lazy encryptors (PKEET-LE), which provides security against lazy encryptors who aim to forge ciphertexts for a given ciphertext to pass the equality test between them without knowing the knowledge of the underlying plaintext. We construct a provably secure PKEET-LE scheme and evaluate its performance, demonstrating its practicality in the RBOC system using smart contracts.

报告内容： 

     密码学在方案和协议的构造中经常使用随机数。虽然随机数处处可见，但在不同的方案里，其作用可能不一样。在本次报告里，我将系统介绍两方面的知识点。一是随机数的五大类作用；二是随机数在应用中可能出现的两大类问题。本次报告的目的是帮助密码学研究新生进一步打好密码学基础。
