Foundations of Theoretical Cryptography (NTIN104) - ZS2017
The central aim of modern cryptography is to characterize the minimal necessary assumptions for solving given cryptographic task. This course introduces general cryptographic assumptions and their applications in constructions of cryptographic primitives and provably secure protocols. We also demonstrate some more advanced applications in cryptographic currencies and secure computation.
Location
The class will be held in S11 every Thursday at 15:40.
