Selected Topics in Cryptography: Course Description
As more and more business is conducted by way of computers, developing secure methods of electronically transmitting private data has taken on increased importance. This OpenCourseWare from MIT in Cambridge looks at a series of topics in this field, beginning with the fundamental question of what is desired from computer security protocols and how best to achieve these goals. 'Universally composable security' is examined as a cryptographic paradigm suited for use with complex and variable computer network systems such as the Internet. From there, Professor Ran Canetti moves on to the obstacles faced when building secure electronic voting systems. Finally, the course presents an introductory look at bilinear-pairing-based cryptography. Students pursuing a Master's degree in Computer Science or Mathematics with an interest in computer security can benefit from this course.
Lecture notes, homework assignments and links to reading material are available free online. If you're interested in this free course, visit the selected topics in cryptography course page.
