Cryptography and Privacy Preserving Operations
Abstract
The last two decades have seen a tremendous development of cryptographic protocols allowing mutually distrusting parties to evaluate a common function while leaking as little information as possible about their inputs. In this course we will study such protocols with an emphasis on ones that achieve some a social goal.
The course will consist of a brief introduction to the foundations of cryptography, followed by lectures on anonymity, protocols for voting, protecting ownership and preserving privacy.
