We will discuss signature schemes, protocols for identification and basics of secure multi-party computation.

• Module III.2.2: Algorithmen II (algorithms II)
• Module III.2.3: Komplexität und Kryptographie (complexity and cryptography)
• Course: L.079.05830
• V2 + Ü1 SWS (contact time)
• 4 ECTS credits (workload)
• Useful previous knowledge: Einführung in Kryptographie (German) or any equivalent course
• This course will be held in english.

For further information see the corresponding section in the module handbook.

• Important Note: the lecture will only take place during the second half of the semester. The first appointment is on Tuesday, May 31st, 2p.m. Tutorials will start on June 7th.
• Lecture:
  • Tuesday, 11 - 13 o'clock, F1.110
  • Tuesday, 14 - 16 o'clock, F2.211

• Tutorials:
  • Tuesday, 16 - 18 o'clock, F2.211

This course will make use of the literature given below. Beside this, there will be no lecture notes for this course. Extensive lecture notes in cryptography of Luca Trevisan are available online.

The oral exams for Cryptographic Protocols have to be planned individually. Send your requests of an examination date to Claudia Jahn and the second professor of the module using the email form for the type A exam from http://www.cs.uni-paderborn.de/en/students/examinations/registering-for-examinations.html.

Here we will publish the home exercises. Note that we won't publish any solutions to these exercises. Solutions to selected exercises will be discussed in the tutorials. You can submit your solutions in the box at F2.108.  We encourage submissions of solutions by small groups of up to four students.
