Presented under the auspices of the Special
Focus on Communication Security and Information Privacy.
This tutorial is a crash course on cryptography and its applications
to secure networking and electronic commerce. It is designed to
provide background knowledge to researchers and graduate students who
wish to participate in the Special Focus on Communication Security and
Information Privacy, or just to get an introduction to some of the
fundamental issues in this field. The tutorial will consist of
lectures and hands-on activities. Topics included are not intended to
cover all aspects of the special focus, but will concentrate instead
on several main themes. These include:
cryptographic primitives and protocols: symmetric key cryptography,
public key cryptography, authentication, and key exchange
protocols
key management and access control: public key infrastructures and
trust management
network security: snooping, spoofing, distributed denial of service
attacks, SSL, SSH, IPsec.
electronic commerce: electronic payments protocols, auctions
In each area, we will introduce the most important and relevant
topics. Lectures will include basic mathematics, tools, and
techniques, information about the current state of the art, and
suggestions for further reading for more advanced topics.
