Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) is a brand-new, promising but little understood technology that has the potential of fundamentally changing how wireless networks are designed today. This talk will will discuss the potential of RISs in 6G wireless networks.

This talk will consider the problem of Secure Distributed Matrix Multiplication (SDMM) in which a user wishes to compute the product of two matrices using the assistance of honest but curious workers.

This technical talk describes how cloud based wireless networks named also as Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RANs) are emerging as appealing architectures for next-generation wireless/cellular systems.
