Reminder Subject: TALK: Proving the Security of a Simple Private Information Retrieval Protocol using EasyCrypt

Abstract:
EasyCrypt is Gilles Barthe's group's framework for interactively finding security proofs of cryptographic protocols using the sequence of games approach. I'll give an introduction to EasyCrypt, describe a very simple private information retrieval protocol, and give a high level description of how this protocol can be proved secure using EasyCrypt.
