Modern Public Key Cryptography (SS 2021)
Table of Content
Content
- Advanced Cryptographic Primitives
- Public Key Cryptography (public key encryption schemes, signature schemes, commitment schemes, zero knowledge, …)
- Provable Security (security models, basic ideas of reductionist security proofs)
In this course you will get to know the details of many public-key cryptosystems;
… be able to show the security of common cryptographic schemes by constructing a security proof;
… learn more about advanced aspects of cryptography and cryptographic research.
