PROGCRYPTO (programmable crypto) The capabilities of multiparty computations, fully homomorphic encryption and zero knowledge proofs are super interesting and will allow for new ways of using the internet. In the same way it was hard to imagine what the consequences of asymmetric encryption was at the time when it was conceived, it think the same is true for MPC and FHE today. These technologies are only recently getting feasible. Example use-case: Look for relatives (think ancestry) based on your DNA sequence with cryptographic guarantees, that everyone's DNA stays secret.
