Anna Lysyanskaya (Brown University) will conduct an online mini-course on foundations of cryptography.

Target audience: Anyone who is interested! Especially students who are considering (eventually) doing a Ph.D. in cryptography or theoretical computer science.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of discrete probability. Basic algorithms and theory of computation are helpful too, but not absolutely required for understanding.

Anna Lysyanskaya is currently the James A. and Julie N. Brown Professor of Computer Science at Brown University. She is originally from Kyiv and received her Ph.D. in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from MIT in 2002 under R. Rivest (of the famous RSA encryption algorithm). fallback markfallback markfallback markRecently she has been awarded the Levchin Prize for her groundbreaking work on efficient anonymous credentials.
