Some interesting reading regarding timelock encryption. Given crypto
breakthroughs through cryptocurrency and smart contracts, it is
interesting to be able to apply such techniques in fields such as
insurance, bonds, trading, etc.
The big issue up to now with these is that a trusted third party, e.g, a
server, was required to keep track. However now with bitcoin and
blockchain technologies, this kind of research is starting to change.
