Slides I used for FinTech - Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall at Graduate School of Business and Finance, Waseda University on November 11, 2022.
Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) Kenji Saito, Graduate School of Business and Finance, Waseda University Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.1/26
be online only. When online, Camera ON is recommended, but not required You do need to speak often anyway (we are going to have a lot of dialogue) We will use breakout rooms a lot, but those won’t be recorded unless you do it yourselves (need to be allowed) Keep your Zoom client updated! We might use latest features The recordings could be used for research on (online) learning Transcribed for use and anonymized Will let you know when the necessity arises Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.2/26
and chat text will be posted at Moodle and Discord Trial automatic transcriptions will be posted at Discord Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.3/26
particular Discussion : Imagine API Basics of Cryptography May be continued to the next lecture Assignment Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.6/26
application can make use of some features provided somewhere Web API : API by HTTP(S) requests In this case, features are provided by a (remote) web server Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.7/26
methods POST, GET (demoed), PUT, DELETE vs. CRUD (Create/Read/Update/Delete) CRUD represents the basic set of operations against a database Uniquely identify resources by URI Some demonstrations later Often returns results in the form of JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.8/26
Then GET / Install openssl in your environment and try it out You may want to try www.google.com:443 and GET /search?q=refrigerator instead Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.9/26
and state transitions An example of state transitions (state machines) (For example, on the web, page = state, and the page presents possible operations in that state as a set of buttons) A stack is a last-in, fast-out date store You can push data in, and pop data out A design would be like, POST to create a stack POST to push to the stack POST to pop from the stack GET to peek in the stack state PUT to update an item DELETE to delete the stack Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.10/26
sample API that provides stacks (requires Python3 and Flask) The stacks can be used as calculators Run the simple web API server $ python stack.py See README to discover how to try In this demo, we will try (5 − 2) × (3 + 4) Expressed as 5 2 − 3 4 + × (Reverse Polish Notation) Also two programs to add up 1 through 10 using the API Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.11/26
the trouble of using APIs to do something this simple We did it as a demonstration in which we can easily confirm that the API worked correctly If I were to point at the moon, you should be looking at the moon, not at my index finger ↑ If you are wondering why I suddenly started talking about the moon, you are surely looking at my index finger At the same time, the stack calculator is an important concept You can make a (virtual) computer out of this concept It is called a stack machine Bitcoin’s virtual computer for scripting is a stack machine Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is also a stack machine Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.12/26
Roughly design With CRUD (Create/Read/Update/Delete) in mind Have you considered an API to retrieve passbook data? How can you be sure that the data is genuine? Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.13/26
digital signature Zero-knowledge proof Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.14/26

Output : signature Verifying Input : <plain text, signature, public key> Output : OK (no change in plain text, and private key was used) or NG (otherwise) Whether the signature meets certain mathematical properties that can be tested using plain text and public key Private key cannot be inferred in the verification process Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.20/26
no knowledge other than what prover wants to prove Example: “I know a secret spell to open the door” ↑ Prove this without revealing the spell itself For example, repeat “coming out from the way she is told” for 20 times Completeness Verifier accepts with high probability if the proposition is true Soundness Verifier has little chance of accepting if the proposition is false Zero-knowledge Can imitate dialogue without having to be a prover (without knowledge) Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.22/26
zero-knowledge proof Example: proving “my test score is the same as yours” Only one person can enter the room at a time Room has numbered and locked voting boxes for every possible score (for example, 101 boxes for 0∼100 points) You have a key bundle, but leave only the key of your score box, and throw away the rest I enter the room and vote for my score box and × for the rest You go into the room and unlock your score box to see if it’s voted Digital signature (can prove that the private key is there without revealing it) is an example of non-interactive zero-knowledge proof Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.23/26
financial services (2) If a user is an “end (edge)”, what is the “center” operated by people or an organization in the example? (3) How will the service change if that center is automated, without an organization? Deadline and how to submit November 15, 2022 at 17:59 JST From Moodle (mandatory) Optionally, you can also post to #assignments channel at Discord So that your classmates can read your report, refer to it, and comment on it Just plain text, and be concise, please (and please remember Kent Beck on How to Get a Paper Accepted) Lecture 6 : The World of Apps (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-11-11 – p.25/26
