Introduction

This class will cover numerous topics in post-quantum cryptography, including a preamble of historical ciphers, both symmetric and asymmetric, a brief exposition of the challenge of classical cryptography and the necessity of post-quantum cryptography, and a detailed introduction on various types of post-quantum ciphers, such as lattice-based, multivariate-based, isogeny-based, code-based, hash-based and MPC-in-the-head-based ciphers.

Lecturer Intro

The research of Dongyu Wu focuses on post-quantum cryptography, secure multi-party computation and algebraic combinatorics. He is now working on VOLE based MPC protocols, algebraic cryptanalysis of multivariate-based cryptography, and the structure of stable limit DAHA.
