Trial Lecture: "Modern Cryptography: In Search of Structure and Randomness"
Chaoyun Li's trial lecture for tenure track associate professor in informatics - applied cryptology.
Main content
Cryptography plays a key role in providing security and privacy for digital systems. This lecture will present a personal perspective of modern cryptography. We will cover some aspects of the design, analysis and applications of cryptographic algorithms.
I will present the interplay between structure and randomness in cryptography. Randomness is essential in the design of a secure system. We will see how to generate randomness from beautiful mathematical structures such as Boolean functions. On the other hand, surprising examples of identifying structures in cryptosystems have been constantly improving our understanding of how to design and analyze cryptosystems.
