Lecture Notes on Cryptography: Cambridge, Massachusetts

Document Content and Description Below

This is a set of lecture notes on cryptography compiled for 6.87s, a one week long course on cryptography taught at MIT by Sha Goldwasser and Mihir Bellare in the summers of 1996{2001. The notes wer... e formed by merging notes written for Sha Goldwasser's Cryptography and Cryptanalysis course at MIT with notes written for Mihir Bellare's Cryptography and network security course at UCSD. In addition, Rosario Gennaro (as Teaching Assistant for the course in 1996) contributed Section 9.6, Section 11.4, Section 11.5, and Appendix D to the notes, and also compiled, from various sources, some of the problems in Appendix E. Cryptography is of course a vast subject. The thread followed by these notes is to develop and explain the notion of provable security and its usage for the design of secure protocols. [Show More]
