CS 6832 - [Applied Cryptography]

Fall. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: undergraduate security and cryptography recommended but not required.

E. Shi.

We will explore how to program and adopt cryptography in secure systems design, including applications such as cloud computing and cryptocurrencies. We will also explore interesting research questions and how to do research in applied cryptography. Background recommended but not required: undergraduate-level security or cryptography. We welcome students from non-cryptography areas such as programming languages and systems to participate and contribute to our discussions.
