Semester | Spring Semester 2019 |
Lecturers | M. Hirt, U. Maurer |
Periodicity | yearly recurring course |
Language of instruction | English |
Abstract | The course presents a selection of hot research topics in cryptography. The choice of topics varies and may include provable security, interactive proofs, zero-knowledge protocols, secret sharing, secure multi-party computation, e-voting, etc. |
Objective | Indroduction to a very active research area with many gems and paradoxical results. Spark interest in fundamental problems. |
Content | The course presents a selection of hot research topics in cryptography. The choice of topics varies and may include provable security, interactive proofs, zero-knowledge protocols, secret sharing, secure multi-party computation, e-voting, etc. |
Lecture notes | the lecture notes are in German, but they are not required as the entire course material is documented also in other course material (in english). |
Prerequisites / Notice | A basic understanding of fundamental cryptographic concepts (as taught for example in the course Information Security or in the course Cryptography Foundations) is useful, but not required. |
