Applied crypto site - lectures, notes, etc...

[Amir Herzberg]

Hi all,

As some of you know, I'm working on a book titled `Intro to applied 
cryptography  for secure communication and commerce. It takes much longer 
than planned (but I'm still hoping to finish it one day!). Anyway, I've 
removed much of the chapters from the book site while I'm revising them, 
but... I've now put there (http://amir.herzberg.name/book.html) detailed 
lectures (foils) covering most of the material. I've also put few chapters 
and hope to add the rest gradually... I hope this will be of some use and 
welcome your feedback and suggestions; also if you ask, I'll put you on a 
list of people to inform when I add chapters. I can also post to the list 
when I add significant new content.

Here is the list of lectures and chapters at this point:

Introduction to cryptography and security
Ciphers and Pseudo-Random Permutations
Secure, Randomized Encryption and PRG
Hashing, One Way Functions and Commitment; Continue
Authentication and shared key distribution
Public Key Cryptography
