Read more Dear Students, I just uploaded the slides and recorded lectures from the past two weeks. There was an issue with recording on the lecture on Tuesday last week which I noticed too late, so that recording is unfortunately not available. However, the content of that lecture is very similar to last year's lecture on public key encryption, so please watch Nico's recording of last year's lecture on the first part of PKE. Due to a lot of spontaneous interaction with the students who attended the lecture yesterday, I was not happy with how the proof of hashed ElGamal ended up looking on my slides. Hence, I redrew the proof sketch and recorded a short video that goes through the updated proof slides in detail again. Best, Julian |
