Course Description: Cryptographic primitives and protocols of
importance to e-commerce present and future. In particular,
our focus this time will be on key management issues (broadly
defined).
Course Notes: "New Directions in Key Management". See me for a
hardcopy of these notes (I will hand it out at the first meeting of
the class). They are still very much in draft form, so I will not
make them available in electronic form.
Course Project: Write up a short paper (5--10 pages) on a
closer look at one of the main class topics, or any other topic
approved by the instructor). Focus on what you consider to be the
most interesting open research questions.
Homework: There may be occasional homework assignments.
A typical assignement will be to turn in a very brief
write-up summarizing some research idea we are covering.
Extra Credit: Find bugs small and large in the Course Notes
for extra credit!
