Introduction to Modern Cryptography

Description:
Author: Mihir Bellare, Phillip Rogaway

This course is an introduction to modern cryptography as a science. The viewpoint in this course is "theory brought to practice", specifically the application of the theory of "provable-security" to the design and analysis of real world cryptographic schemes. This course considers tasks like encryption, signatures, authentication, and key distribution. The goal is to instill understanding of fundamentals of cryptographic protocol design.
