Cryptography lays the mathematical foundations of secure communication and is often treated as a perpetual battle between the good guys and the bad guys. In this general audience talk, using auctions as a test-bed, we strive to make a case for deviating from this characterization and viewing parties as rational agents instead.
Based on multiple works with Siddharth Agarwal, Chaya Ganesh, Shreyas Gupta and Girisha Shankar.
