PrivacyIN Privacy Institute (Privacy Institution) is committed to building an open cryptography and privacy technology evangelism and research community, and unites the world's top scholars and privacy technology developers to promote ZK (zero-knowledge proof), MPC (secure multi-party computing), FHE (full Homomorphic encryption) innovation and implementation of OP.
In order to promote the innovation and implementation of privacy in the next generation of multi-party computing scenarios, PrivacyIN Privacy Academy plans to carry out technical training, research community and project innovation incubation around modern cryptography technology. In this way, the application threshold of theoretical protocols for developers can be lowered, the engineering innovation capabilities of cryptographic researchers can be improved, and an open cryptographic privacy technology community can be jointly maintained.
Registration for the second training camp of PrivacyIN is now open!
TSS (Threshold Signature Scheme threshold signature) is an important research direction of MPC (secure multi-party computing) key management, which can support multi-party management of private keys and assets. Compared with the multi-sign agreement (Multi Sign), it has more significant advantages in terms of security and cost.
LatticeX, the initiator of PrivacyIN Privacy Academy, has a profound research background in this field. The Open TSS project initiated by LatticeX is building an open TSS protocol research and engineering innovation community . Open TSS is currently cooperating with Northwestern University, Nanyang Technological University, Hong Kong University and many other well-known institutions in the field of MPC research. Based on the self-published top cryptography papers as the theoretical basis, it has accumulated solid technical strength, engineering capabilities and privacy The computing ecological community has open-sourced Open TSS-related codes, and supports the innovation of multiple MPC wallets in the industry, providing ecological empowerment capabilities.

This course will focus on TSS, bringing students high-quality, high-density, and practice-oriented high-quality courses.
Class time:
This course will strictly select 20 students for small class tutoring and teaching. The expected requirements of the students are as follows:
● Able to devote at least 10 hours per week
● Familiar with basic cryptographic protocols, or proficient in programming languages such as Rust, Golang, and Solidity
● Complete preview tasks before class, including classic paper reading and engineering project research
● Complete the submission of code tasks after each class
The content of the training camp courses has been polished for a long time and is friendly to developers. The entire training camp is completely free. Students who successfully graduate will receive diverse incentives provided by PrivacyIN to help every developer learn to understand MPC, use TSS, and own their own projects. If your project has potential, you can get Prizes and Grants incubation funding to make your project go further.
Refined course TSS training camp course details look in advance

- Best practice of TSS industry application - best practice of threshold signature in web3 applications such as decentralized wallets and hosting
- Open TSS Hands-on-Open TSS open source framework hands-on training
The teacher team of the training camp with strong teachers is open
This TSS training camp is led by Professor Wang Xiao, Professor Xue Haiyang, and LatticeX Chief Product Officer Kyle Song.
Xiao Wang is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science, Northwestern University. After earning his Ph.D. at the University of Maryland, he did postdoctoral work at MIT and Boston University, where his research covered computer security, privacy, and cryptography. His current research interests include practically secure multi-party computation, zero-knowledge proofs, oblivious random access machines (ORAM), and post-quantum cryptography. In 2017, Xiao Wang won the ACM CCS Best Paper Award.
Haiyang Xue is a research assistant professor at the Faculty of FinTech and the Department of Computer Science at the University of Hong Kong. Before that, he was a researcher in cryptography at IIE, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Kyle Song is currently in charge of the product strategy and technology ecology of the LatticeX Foundation, promoting the innovation and implementation of cryptographic privacy computing in the industry. Prior to this, he was a founding member of Google Blockchain CoE, and led the OKCoin public chain research team to promote the innovation of the public chain in the fields of fragmentation expansion and privacy. Long-term focus and research on cross-applications and innovations in the fields of cryptography, blockchain, and cloud computing.
The three teachers will provide a rich, practical and practical course full of dry goods for the participating developers.
