Constructing Cryptographic Protocols

Presented at HOPE Number Six (2006), July 22, 2006, 7 p.m. (60 minutes)

This lecture will show how to construct advanced cryptographic protocols. Beginning with a set of requirements for a communications protocol that includes immunity from replay attacks, traffic analysis resistance, and resiliency against partial compromise, the audience will be shown how a naive protocol can be iteratively improved into a protocol satisfying those requirements.
