Exercise tomorrow

Hey everyone, tomorrow 8:30 exercises. We'll discuss exercise sheet 2.

17.01.2019

Another typo on exercise sheet 02

In exercise 4 DEC outputs either m or \bot (not 1 or 0). Thx to Bohdan

17.01.2019

No exercises tomorrow 18.01.19

Due to a clash of appointments the exercises are postponed to 25.01.19

14.01.2019

Another update of exercise sheet 2

- In Exercise 2 we require the group G to be of prime order (in fact, any composite order with large factors would do)

- In Exercise 3 we require that the field F has size 2^\secparam (instead of \secparam)

 

11.01.2019

Exercise Sheet 2 updated

Fixed some unclarities: In exercise 2 added the condition m_0 \neq m_1 to the binding property, in exercise 4 a \gamma was missing in the description of DEC.

Thanks to Florian and Jesko

Exercise Sheet 01 Updated

Typos in the exercise sheet have been fixed. Also, due to a suggestion I've added an extra exercise (1b) which shows why we can assume without loss of generality that adversaries are deterministic.

Advanced Public Key Cryptography

Overview

In the past three decades cryptography has taken on tasks above and beyond the basic task of securing point-to-point communication channels: Maintaining the privacy of individuals in databases, secure computation on large datasets and anonymous transactions in blockchains-based currencies to name just a few.

This course will cover the state-of-the-art in public key encryption and discuss some of the guiding challenges and frontier-problems of today.

The following topics will be covered:

  • Modelling Security for public key encryption
  • Proving security of public key encryption schemes
  • Tools for building public key encryption schemes
  • Notions of public key encryption with enhanced functionality:
    Homomorphic Encryption
    Identity-Based Encryption
    Attribute-Based Encryption
    Functional Encryption

Questions? Don't hesitate to write a mail to "doettling at cispa.saarland"

Prerequisites

Some familiarity with the basics of cryptography is expected, e.g. as provided in the summer-term course "Cryptography".

When and Where

Monday 10:00 - 11:30 in building E9 1 (CISPA), room 0.05 (lecture hall ground floor). First lecture on 22.10.18.
