New Course: Modern Cryptography 

Professor Nitesh Saxena will teach CS996 Modern Cryptography in the spring
semester.  The course will cover current techniques from a theoretical
perspective, the emphasis of the course being on "provable security".
In particular, the course will cover the cryptographic primitives
that are the building-blocks of various cryptographic applications.
The cryptographic primitives that will be discussed include
pseudo-random functions, symmetric encryption (block ciphers), hash
functions and random oracles, message authentication code, asymmetric
encryption and digital signatures.
