In this talk, we will summarize a candidate multilinear map construction due to Gentry-Gorbunov-Halevi (GGH15). While the original key exchange protocol using GGH15 is broken, new safeguards have recently been proposed which aim to prevent this and other ``zeroizing'' attacks. Our goal will be to understand the construction, attack, and proposed safeguards.
